The Strawberry Tree

The difficulty of not having a charged phone throughout the day has been vanished in Serbia. The creator of this idea, Milos Milisavlijevic, has designed a public solar-powered charging station shaped as a tree installed across the country. The Strawberry Tree, named so after the symbolism of strawberries as the first fruit of the summer, can work for up to 20 days without sunlight thanks to its in-built solar batteries. Contains reused steel, and 98% of it can be recycled. Also up to sixteen chargers for a variety of phones and tablets. Each charger is equipped with sensors which measure conditions like air pollution, noise levels, and UV radiation in its vicinity. They even have their own WI-FI and USB sockets for people to connect on the internet with.
 
Milisavlijevic claims the main function for these phones can be countless; between checking weather, traffic, and activities in a location, to being the best emergency response the public safety services can offer. Each station has its own emergency button, installed to hopefully prevent crime.
