Japan has 2.4 million beverage vending machines and this understandably consumes a vast amount of electric power. How can we support our mobile lifestyle while being kind to the planet?

Well, FUJI ELECTRIC Co. Ltd. Displayed a prototype of what might be the vending machine of the future. Their solar powered vending machine gets sufficient energy from the solar panels to heat and cool the beverages, while the moss covering helps improve insulation.

Furthermore, the green décor would also give our grey city streets a more natural look and help vending machines in scenic locales blend into the environment. It is literally the greenest vending machine ever.
