    From the earliest times, people have needed to find ways of cleaning their clothes. Before washing machines, laundry was done by hand. It was backbreaking work that would usually take a whole day every week and often required multiple members of the household to assist.There are some who argue that by reducing the amount of time required to be spent on laundry, washing machines were one of the key creations that enabled women to enter the workforce in large numbers in the 20th Century.While washing machines have revolutionised the way in which we do laundry, they have also had some serious environmental impacts.How will you reduce the current impacts that washing machines have on the environment?

    Who invented the Television? How did they ever get moving images on the screen in the first place? What does the TV show us about our society? How can TV's be innovated in the future?

    The invention of the television changed the way in which families spent their time together, and even the way they orgainsed their homes. Living rooms, which once had chairs that faced towards each other, now all face the wall on which the television is situated.

    Through entertaining story telling of everyday items, Melanie & Rachel show how a single item has evolved society and inspire families to consider their impact on the environment, guiding future innovators to put the planet first.
