Mexico City has at the same time great problems and huge potential. Most of this problems come from the massive growth of the population in Mexico City

My Favorite Water Idea - THINK 4
I've seen this idea in an ad from a WIRED magazine maybe two to three years ago. It was a straw that converted sea water into regular drinking water. I'm not 100% if those plans came to fruition, but that sounded like an amazing idea. So the straw works by simply sucking on it ahah. It uses various filters in real time to desalt and disinfect water, although salt water tends to be less contaminated than lake water.…

Sucking, in the Healthy Way
Recently, I read an article on the LifeStraw. Basically, this invention is a cheap way to provide a person living in an underdeveloped area to have clean drinking water for one year. The straw is sized for a person to carry on them and use as needed.

Change the World
My idea is to change the face of the world. It would be big and it could help a lot of people. But there are many challenges to face.
But I'll just get to the point. The Saraha Desert is about as big as the United States. But it would be kind to say it's sparsely populated. (http://na.unep.net/globalpop/africa/Appendix_6e.html) A glance at a population map makes this quite clear. The highest concentration of people are…

World Water Day- Water Crisis
On World Water Day, everyone should save water in any way they can, and set a goal limit for how much they use in one day. This includes shorter showers, and turning the faucet off every spare moment when one doesn't need it. That's a small thing everyone should do. Another thing people could do is to all donate perhaps a few water bottles to a charity, and all the gathered water would be shipped to other places in the world, and be used to last some time for the people who lack sanitation.… Continue

Imagine4 - Great Canadian Water Relay
To celebrate "World Water Day, 2020", I propose that we carry the amount of water required for the average Canadian Family from coast to coast. According to statistics, the average family size in Canada as of 2003 was 3 people, so one child and 2 parents. The average person requires 2 L of water per day for drinking alone; estimate that at 6 L of water for a family of 3 for just DRINKING. Imagine that, that much just…

They are located in my home town of Denver, which I am moving back to soon.

Reclaimed Water Reuse for Industry, Agriculture and Landscaping
I worked in a project to create sustainability for reclaimed water reuse. Dry land created nomads without income. We pulled reclaimed water from water treatment plants into the desert and gave 40 farmers and their families 40 pieces of land to plant with alpha alpha. This created fast crops, fast gains, starting 2$K – 2$K / year and up to 5,000 $ or more after 3 years…

WIld and Free - Nature's Bank in the Urban Wilds
In my continuing quest to utilize nature's own economy to get my food needs met, I was checking in with an old friend of mine who's an urban naturalist and he mentioned that there was a website that listed the larger urban wild spaces in the city of Boston. And when I went to the Urban Wilds | City of Boston site I discovered that there is actually an official city program to protect and preserve urban wild spaces in the city. Which… Continue

More preparation for Wild and Free Food Week
I walked down to one of the local libraries to get some more books on wild foods (because I only had four already, and that simply wasn't enough! I really am a book-aholic, aren't I?), and scoped out the slim wild food pickings on the way there. I found a reasonable amount of the usual spring "cleansing tonic" greens (dock, dandelion, clover, etc.) periodically, so I know I won't starve, at least, and I should be extra healthy with all the tonic! :-)
I was surprised to find my favorite… Continue

Getting ready for my free wild food week...
My camera and I took a long walk today along a recreational path near where I'm staying, to scope out the potential wild foods for my week 5 action mission to take advantage of the gift economy inherent in nature. I'm starting officially on Sunday, but I'm doing some experimentation already, because I'm so excited. However, today's walk was a bit depressing, as the path is afflicted with monoculture, and the aim of the… Continue

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

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

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.
