Solar powered AAs
Okay, so I did a little research and this is what I found.

A solar powered AA battery charger goes for $4.99 on Amazon.com, can be more for bigger or more diverse chargers, but I think this will work for the task at hand. This one charges 4 AA batteries.
A Turbo Charge TC² Portable Charger for the iPod and iPhone goes for $13.98 on Amazon right now. It takes two AA batteries and has good reviews.
A four pack of Duracell…

What's for dinner? March 10, 2020
In 2020 we will have gone back to our roots. Research shows that older diets, such as the Mediterranean diet, are healthier than the modern American ones. The Mediterranean diet was more a lifestyle, something you had to commit to entirely. It isn't something you can cheat around. The lifestyle was imagined from high activity, Mediterranean nutrition, anti stress attitudes and not much money. There is not one specific Mediterranean diet; many countries border the sea. It is considered to be the… Continue

Ten years from now
In ten years, in an ideal scenario, I'd be living in Istanbul, Turkey. It's one of my favorite places in the world. I love the culture and the lifestyle. I will have graduated from college with a degree in either education or music, or a combination of the two, and will have a small house on the Europe side of Istanbul. I'll be able to speak Turkish as well as possibly French. I won't have a car if I can avoid it, I'd rather walk. I'd be working on ways to protect the Bosphorus from…

Dan Ilett and Greenbang.com
I chose journalist Dan Ilett who blogs on Greenbang.com because I think that going green is an important aspect to just about any problem. Sustainability is important when trying to fix something; we want a solution that will last longer than the problem. To find a solution we need to understand the problem and why it is happening. Greenbang covers stories that look at not just how to go green, but why it is necessary and why we're not at the moment. One of his stories, "Eco cheese wins… Continue

Favorite Evidence
My favorite evidence out of the article is "If you want to make something 10 times cheaper, remove 90 percent of the material". I think that in order to create things that are actually feasible to use on a large scale, it needs to be inexpensive. It also needs to be easy to make so it can be produced on that large scale. It is also (probably) easier to get that material when you don't need as much. This could help me, or anyone else, change the world because it makes it within reach. Most… Continue

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

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.
