Here’s the video we just watched at PopTech 2009 on the FLAP bag; participants received a bag that they can upgrade to a FLAP bag that has a solar panel and a USB port and an LED light.

Find out more about the FLAP project here and see the FLAP FAQ.

Below is the introductory video for a web series we’ll be posting in coming weeks about our field tests in Arizona with the bag; as PopTech Executive Director said on the PopTech stage this morning, “we need to start at the bottom of our [U.S.] pyramid too.”
