The East-West Corner in Kissena Corridor Park Gardens
In 3010, maybe they will remember that we started a garden in the Southeast corner (bottom left in this photograph) of the Kissena Corridor Park Gardens. They will have a big celebration to mark the 100th year of gardening there.

Day in the Park!
It could be any weekend morning. Everybody is gathered in the park, planting, tending, or harvesting from the community gardens. We are kicking soccer balls, riding bikes, and hitting baseballs, and with each play, a bit of electricity is gathered into thin, large capacity batteries. We take these batteries and put them into lights that allow us to continue playing, planting, and singing late into the night.

Generate Power While Riding a Bike
I would like to invent a power generator that would collect into an electric battery some of the energy produced while riding a bike. It would have to be extremely light-weight, easy to attach to the back tire, and aerodynamic. There are a couple of places to start with this idea.
Look closely at this image. This solution has a stationary bike.
The Pedal Power Generator is almost what I'm envisioning. I would love to… Continue

Currency Exchange
I haven't made a currency exchange in a while but whenever I go to Paraguay or Colombia (My parent's home countries) I always have to convert my american money into the nation's currency. What i like though about exchanging there is that the american dollar is worth more there so I usually get more for my buck. :D
The process is interesting. You can go to any currency place that is around. You go up and give in the money you want to exchange and then after paying a service…

A city teacher learns to eat from local, organic farms
In order to imagine a meal from the future, I'm going to refer to a list presented by two NYC environmental activists, Anhthu Hoang and James Suvudhi, from WE ACT. In the March 24, 2010 Green Times (NYC), they describe their "Top 10" ways for NYC "to reduce GHGs [Green House Gases] and improve the…Continue

Inspiring things I'm following up on
- I'm inspired by this challenge because it's a small, but important way to suggest to my students how they can take more ownership of their space on Evoke! -- and that's a
lesson they can take into other social networking spaces online.

Permission to Propose a Garden - More Research Needed
It's a small step, but we are making a proposal to the Community Board in which our school is located to plant a garden in the Community Gardens across the street from our school. I'm doing research into it, but I also have to get the proposal written. Here's what I'm studying now:

Halloween in 2020
It's Halloween night on the year 2020 and I am 28 years old. My life is at a good point and I am working hard and enjoying life as good as I can.
Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year because I am into all the dark stuff and horror themes. It's what makes me happy just like a little girl loves her rainbow ponies and magical castle land. LOL
On halloween I usually go out to a movie or attend a haunted house walkthrough ride with friends.…

Discovering a Power Player working on a cool project.
I saw an Evoke member named Ralph Singh on this site and he wrote a comment saying:
"We're nearing the final stages of erecting a 10 KW wind turbine behind our house. It will be one of the first in this area of Upstate New York. Snow just melted here and God willing by June it will be operational."
This is really cool because this will help collect and sustain energy. I know windmills and related inventions are used for the purpose of either gaining energy or for having… Continue

Global and Local Food Hunger
Food Security is a major problem around the world. It is important to examine the famine that occurs all around the world. It's very sad to see that this still happens with the
capability we as people have and the technology that is available to us
that we can use to help people. We need to start acting quickly to make
sure things work out well for those poor hungry people. The food hunger
crisis is a big concern…

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.

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.
