You dont have to work
The thing I have learned quite a while ago, which is connected to the future of money is the idea of a basic income. In general it is about disconnecting the money from work. Meaning, that even if you dont work, you will still have enough money to live a decent life. Everyone will get it, unconditionally.
It is based on the fact, that in todays modern world, we have means to make the work easier and to work less. The Ancient Romans and Greeks used slaves to work for them,…

Chargerbike
Heres the thing. We have a stationary bike at home and it has a digital display so it needs electricity and so does the system, which controls the difficulty of your training. So in order to get the display and the difficulty control up and running, you need batteries. My thought is, why not make the bike produce energy for itself? Oh, wait, there are such bikes, Ive seen them in fitness studios. Apparently, the fitness studio owners know a lot about paying as little as they can for the energy,… Continue

Food from my rooftop(s)
In 2020 (OK, maybe not in 2020 but definetely somwhere in the future) I will be living in a house simmilar to the Philip Johnssons Glass House http://philipjohnsonglasshouse.org/history/ , except it would not be just one block, but few of them intersected and piled upon each other. This will make a room for the rooftop gardens, in which I will grow my own food, letting the vines of the grape-vine slide down the glass… Continue

Food around here
I live in Slovakia. As part of the central Europe (yes, we were part of eastern block, but really, it is central Europe) the food security is not as big issue around here, as in other places. You dont see people suffering from hunger on a daily basis. So I think my country has the food supply pretty much covered, as far as quantity is concerned.
And that is where the real problem lies. We were strong agricultural country once and it has been part of culture, but nowadays it…

Community centre garden
In our town, we have a little community centre located in one of the urban neighbourhoods. The purpose of this centre is to create a place for community projects, which the people from around the neighbourhood come up with. So far its efforts arent that visible and they are mainly concentrating on the very poor and homeless, which is great of course, but these people are on average older and missing that spark, that is needed in order to come up with something new.
So my idea is this. There…

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.

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.
