Mehek Sharma is a talented designer who has created the ‘Amend’. Amend is a unique device that lets you use the old psychological theories to help you save water and energy. It uses the principle of rewards and punishment in order to help you save water and electricity. It measures your monthly water and electricity consumption and if you use less energy and water, you get a Green Card.
This Green Card would be provided by the government and you would be able to use the card to purchase goods at a lower rate. This situation is very relevant to India where the government issues Green Cards to people who are poor. However, it is not meant only for India.

If you use more energy and water, you get negative points and you will be fined as a punishment. Amend is an interesting concept but governments need to pay attention to such cool concepts. If this were to be employed in India, corrupt government officials would make the user’s life hellish.
