  • Windtowers (called badgirs in Farsi) tower over homes in the city of Yazd, Iran. They are designed to catch the wind and cool homes and other buildings naturally, with no fans or electricity. Building structures in Iran are built close together, especially in the country's hot, arid central region, and their purposefully tall earthen and brick walls create maximum shade for pedestrians in the narrow adjacent alleyways.

  • Munna Kailash a rickshaw driver ferries his wife, niece, and son on a shopping trip in  in Varanas, Utta Pradesh province, India,. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food in the month of April was 2400 kcals. He is 45 years old; 5 feet, 6 inches; and 106 pounds.

Although slower than two-cycle smoke-spewing auto-rickshaws, bicycle rickshaws don't pollute the air, and the only heat they add to the atmosphere is from the bodies of their drivers.
