Imagine3 - water day
I would have my event at a lake. All around the sides of this lake there would be stands for drinks and snacks. On the lake there would be heaps of those plastic bubbles that people can walk inside and lots of other water related activities ( using the water only from the lake ). entrance would be $5 per person and children under 5 free. All he money gained from this event would go towards getting fresh water pumps for those who need it.

My Solar Christmas
It's been a sunny day. Perfect. I now know that I have enough energy to power my Christmas dinner. This week I have been collecting energy for my Christmas dinner. The fairy lights are already hooked up to the generator and are making the house sparkle! I now await the arrival of my guest as all the preparations are finished. The wh*** house is being powered by all the energy I stored. I can't wait to see my friends faces when they see all the lights!

Bioenergy (LEARN3)
Bioenergy: Organic Waste Reactors
Organic waste like dead plant material, manure, or kitchen waste can be turned into a gaseous fuel. It’s produced by fermentation of these biodegradable materials. Biogas can be used as fuel for cooking, for example, or in a gas engine, converting energy into electricity or heat.

My dinner in 2022 ( IMAGINE2 )
I am sitting down to dinner with a group of my church friends. It is only rice but after sifting through rubble all day it tastes like the best meal I've ever had! Our chef is Shiori, the organiser of the missionary base set up to help those in need after the Japan earthquake and tsunami. The meal my friends and I are eating was from the late harvest from the rice fields in the neighbouring town who we recentley helped.

food insecurity learn2
In New Zealand the people most affected by food insecurity are those who lost their jobs in the earthquake. With lots of businesses closed down in the CBD many people have struggled to find employment after the loss of their jobs. With taxes going up to support the rebuild of the city the unemployed are borrowing money to feed their family. But when the money stops who knows when their next supermarket visit will be!

What you have matters more than what you lack
What you have matters more than what you lack (If you’ve got a bicycle, consider what you can build based on that, rather than worrying about not having a car, a truck, a metal shop.)
I think this is a great tip because it teaches us to build on what we have and see what we can acheive with so litttle at our disposal. It teaches us to be creative with what we have.

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
