Moreover, the research team began to do a series of experiments to support this innovation.
The most important innovation of MUJI is MUJI Hut (also called MUJI House) in recent years. This plan was proposed four years ago, but the first House was built in 2017. All materials in MUJI House come from its own products, in other words, all furniture is cheap and environment-friendly. There are three aims of MUJI House. Firstly, they want to reduce land waste, thus they use limited land size to achieve a home with full features. The small size of land represents a lower price of the house, and people can buy much cheaper furniture from MUJI. Therefore, this innovation reduces people’s living costs to give them a high quality of life (Goal 12 Responsible Consumption and Production). Secondly, they use as much as possible solar energy and light energy instead of traditional energy in order to reduce carbon dioxide pollution (Goal 7 Clean Energy). Finally, they build a house based on people’s image of the perfect house, and the house has satisfied people’s fantasy of “Home”. (Alden Rose, 2016)

Pijakbumi came up with the idea of creating sustainable shoes using eco-friendly materials, such as natural vegetable-tanned leather, hemp fabrics, organic cotton and coconut leather. Besides that, Pijakbumi attempts to reduce the chemical materials consumption in their production, such as glue, because the chemical materials have a bad impact on craftsmen's health and the environment. Furthermore, Pijakbumi educates its craftsmen or artisans to love the environment by using the used rope which is purchased at the flea market for the shoes' molding process and recycling used tires by grinding them as one of the rubber shoe materials. Then, Pijakbumi educates its customers to love the environment as well, by providing the slogan "changes can be made starting from objects or goods attached to our bodies."

I spoke with Shane Doyle the General Manager of the Finance and Administration department of Melbourne Victory soccer club. The innovation we discussed is the Department of Education and Training (DET) program targeted towards “at risk youth”, and providing them with opportunities and programs they would otherwise not have access to. In other words, it’s “using football to give [at risk youth] opportunities”. This week-long program occurs at the end of every term during school holidays, equating to four times a year. It includes seventy-five at risk youths who are generally high school students nominated by schools approached by Melbourne Victory. These schools are approached in regards to having any at risk youth, and are from all areas around Melbourne. The youth are kitted out in Melbourne Victory gear for the week with the help of the merchandisers, and sometimes picked up and dropped off for those who have no safe way of getting to the program.
