Mission #3- Imagine
It is December 25, 2020 and it's Christmas day! The wh*** town is covered in decorations for the special holiday! But there is not much energy left any where, so the town worked together building many devices to make this Christmas bright and eco-friendly. All the lights are powered by solar panels located on each rooftop. The energy that is collected from those is used to power the city Christmas lights at night. Instead of cutting down hundreds of pine trees this year only to decorate and throw away many weeks later, we plated many pine trees in the town and then decorated those after they grew a little bit. All the decorations on the trees are either reusable or all natural so that way we can just leave them on the trees and they we either composed after falling, or they won't do any harm if they get into the environment.

Today is a day when we are opening a new center for development of low income families. This one is at the west region of Brazil, nearby some indians' communities, and we've learned with them how to use all the solar electricity and some times, the power of water that comes from the rain. Those people really now how to live there, and we were helping them on how to keep the families cohesive and united.

Im agree especial with my wife that this will help for urban transport and reduce the fuel consumtion especial in urban areas.

It is the Fourth of July in 2020 and we are having a big bar-b-q at our house. It is a beautiful summer evening and our company is sitting enjoying some cool drinks out on the patio. Our patio happens to be close to our chicken coop. We use the biomass from the chickens and are turning it into energy. We decided to cook up some hamburgers on the grill and our grill is being run off our chicken’s waste. We are turning biomass into energy and using it to cook.

It's Thanksgiving 2020 and my family is getting ready to start cooking. My brothers go outside and gather the bags of leaves that they finished raking up yesterday and put them in our biomass generator to fuel our electical stove and lights.My family has enough electricity to last through our dinner. When we are done eating we put all of the scraps of food in our biomass generator and it powers the TV and lights for an evening of watching football and playing games.

It is February 5, 2020, and I'm celebrating my 64th birthday. My cake was baked, my guests were transported by, and all homes are powered by electricity created by a global network of generators that produce power from natural tidal motions of the world's oceans. No life is harmed, no ecosystems are altered, the motion is endless, and extremely inexpensive to operate.

It is December 24, 2020 and im with family at my 10-story mansion getting ready for another joyous Christmas. They are impressed by the incredible display of lights of my 30 foot X-Mas tree. My neighbors ring the doorbell, "Hey Jarrod that is some spectacular lightshow you've got going on in your front lawn, where does all the electricty come from?" So I take them to my backyard of about 10 acres and I show them a giant tank of electric eels and explain to them how they power up everything in my mansion.
ok maybe I won't end up in a 10 story mansion, but I could totally see the advent of electric eels or relation to being used to power up society's everyday needs.

Where is your bunker Belladona? on November 2nd 2020 I plan to be celebrating life with you - but by then I will have built us a small hut, found food and planted a field of maize, I will also have a small hand cranked radio transmitter to try, hopefully to get more people to join us so that rather than huddling around a fire, or cuddling together for warmth, we can all start to rebuild a real world of freedom, farming expertise and honesty

It is 2020 and I meet a group of people I barely know, celebrating nothing more and nothing less than life! I believe that by 2020 that will be our biggest celebration will definitely be a joy to be well and alive ... what day is it?? mmm ... November 2, 2020, energy provided to us (temporarily) the fire, although I suppose in the bunker will have a source of energy.

Summer holidays, Isle of Wight, energy free island - OK todasy it i summer asnd hot and the beach is beautiful, but just off the bheach, beyond where the grandchildren bathe and my sons swim is the new tide collecting 'worm' we had to sail carefully roubnd it in our galleon-ferry from Portsmouth. Up on the hyills above Ryde3 and especilaly on the southern side of the island arether very nanhy wind farms making the very most of the wind up on the chines. The waves around and between the Needles are creating huge excesses of electricity asndf, of coutrse, up on the central ridge the nodding donkeys are sucking oil from the wells, just5 enough to create the power to reap the wood from the undersea forest.

Chinese New Year would be one for me to try, especially with China beginning to develop and prosper. Because it's custom to use lanterns, i wouldn't even have to consider using lightbulbs. Also, any other bright lights that would be needed would be wind powered, because during the transition from winter to spring, the wind really kicks up. I wouldn't need to use energy produced from coal or fossil fuels, which will help. If everyone who celebrates this holiday does something similar, then that entire week would create a huge drop in fossil fuels/ electricity consumed. China has a big population, and there are lots of Asians elsewhere in the world as well. Candles, and lamps would be what I'd use. Anything electric would be from wind, right on time for the seasonal wind.

its a secular christmas and im producing energy on my dutch barge from a clean burning secondary combustion stove that supplies all my power needs in winter via a thermoelectric generator
power is also supplied via thin film solar on the roof and a tethered high altiude wind generator
fresh water comes from the sea or canal via reverse osmosis pump
boat is powered by skysail or electric or compressed air motor when on canals and rivers

I'm always amazed with the things I come up with for these IMAGINE challenges, it's one thing to have a fleeting moment of thought about what you'd like to see for the future... but an entire different exercise to sit down and write about it. Writing has a way of forcing you to think about the logic behind what you're stating. I always find myself thinking: "Will we actually come that far in just 10 years?" And then I need to remind myself that if I want to see these changes it's up to me (and you) to make it happen.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
