Big Problems need small solutions

Tooth Brush Handle
Tooth brushes are changed by users almost once in three months by consumers. With each tooth brush being changed, there is at least 20-25 gms of plastic that gets wasted. Can the tooth brush manufacturers come up with a product in which the head of the tooth brush only can be changed instead of the entire tooth brush.
It will be easy to replace a brush handle once it is worn out. The locking system is important, as it has to consider different brushing velocity of consumers. Just imagine the multiplier effect of wastage.

Toilet Flush
Each time a toilet is flushed, there is X amount of water that goes down the drain. The highest water dispenser is the flush toilet. Can there be a smaller tank or a smaller dispensing with each flush. Can our designers come out with a toilet that can reduce the flush waste. The design of flush toilet has remained same in the past 4 centuries.

Radio playing old Music
Ears have a lot of competition for attention these days, there are mobile phones, TV, so on, in the earloier days, it was primarily Radio, even today, you crave to hear old music. Perhaps there is need for an All India channel playing old music all the time.

Yoga for Married Couples
There is loss of intimacy amoungst married couples. There are too many things that divert their attention. How about a 5 day workshop called "Couple Yoga". To revive the intimacy and to feel one once again. I am talking about sex training here, but excercises, conversations, role plays that can be done by couples to improve mutual respect and build a strong bonding.

Education Centers/Chain of Restuarants for Diabetics
India is diabetic capital of the world. It is expected that a million people will die in India with the complications related to diabetes. Perhaps in India we need diabetic education centers well managed by a team of doctos and also para-medical staff.
For diabetic diet, there is a need for Diabetic Restuarants accross the cities and also accross the country.
