IMAGINE3

In the year of 2020 I will take a stand for environment protection. In this case, I will celebrate a special day for supporting the sustainable energy. This day should show the german population how easy you could produce energy by yourself. I will try to catch lots of people to a huge public place, where they should produce energy by riding a bicycle. Today we already have bike-constructions for producing energy by riding it. Have a look at this video…

The beach is sparkling clean because ti is devoid of all the trash that was present just a decade ago.

Act 10 The Future of Evoke A day in the Life of Evoke by Sunnydupree

Rotors thump as the helicopter hits the ground. The door bursts open and a squad of uniformed men and women bound forth. A tall man in a Beret jumps out last. It is Alchemy and he is calling on his Urgent Evoke agents once again to assist him. Mita runs up with a cell phone. "Alchemy, I have organized the agents and they will be ready on Go when you give the orders"! Alchemy grabs the phone and barks into it as a dust storm kicks up. "Sunny you have your agents in Texas mobilized… Continue

World Water Day Event

This would be an event similar to a sponsored marathon run, in which competitors would get sponsors to donate based on the amount of water that they can move. The event would be a water transportation race, where the goal is to move as much clean drinking water as possible, using methods currently being employed in Africa. This will spread awareness by showing what people currently have to go in some parts of the world, to obtain something as essential and fundamental as clean drinking water.… Continue

Learn 6 Empowering women- Sexual Violence

I have come to this day for a purpose. I am not here to elevate fear. I am hear to help women fear less. The thing that most people need to know is that rape and other physical abuses are the most common problem for women and young children. As I have said before just about all the women I know have had someone molest them at one time are the other. I want women and children to know that they can arm themselves with knowledge and learn to keep an eye out for those who would hurt them.Because I… Continue

More student exchange needed

Try Living on $2 a day.

I think its important that more people are encouraged to spend time in a developing nation. I think we can create a system here in the US that offers compensation for doing volunteer work in a developing nation.

I think we can have more exchanges going on of people coming here and people going there. I think that universities can take the lead here. Universities seem to be looking for a place to spend their money. Many universities profess social justice and…

Water Strike - World Water Day 2020

World Water Day 2020 will be a day of protest to take a stand for water security. I will collaborate with bottled water companies to not sell any water on that day, or resorts or hotels to not fill up the swimming pools on that day. I will organize the longest drinking fountain line in urban areas, as well as the longest public septic tank line in rural areas. I will also hold talks about water security (problems and solutions) through different volunteers in many parts of the country.

World Water Day 2020

On World Water Day in 2020, there could be a large event in which people would come and gain entry to the event by donating one water bottle to a worldwide fund and also 5 dollars per person going towards building water supplies accessible to those who are currently short on water. While us Americans may have unlimited access to all the water bottles we need, people in certain areas, like impoverished and dry sections of Africa, could use these water bottles. It could be a successful event year… Continue

Imagine4: Water Day

The average American soaks up about 1,189 gallons of water a day. When I read this fact I thought, Surely I can't use that much water! In order to test myself, I tried the water calculator web site. The calculator asked questions about my life style, then tallied up how much water I use. Once all of my data was imputed, I was shocked to find that on an average day, I use near 1,300 gallons! I realized that without the water… Continue

Water from thin air

With all of my talk about using peltier generators to scavenge energy from heat sources to reduce the word's need for electricity and to create power from other heat sources, you might be tempted to think that I am obsessed with the technology, well, I am LOL :) But on the other hand it is a technology that has real promise in many different applications. Take for instance the issue of water shortage. Wouldn't it be great if one could just make water out of thin air? Well, you can! And yes, it… Continue

World Water Day 2020

In order to bring peoples attention to the problems of water depletion in the wh*** world I would encourage a series of events. Firstly, one hour in which everyone goes without a glass of water or anything to drink (unless of course they feel unwell) to highlight the sense of thirst. This will involve even pubs and restaurants not serving any drinks for that one hour. I am sure that people who are thirsty enough will catch up later on in the day so no real loss to the hospitality industry!… Continue
