2020 Energy Carnival!!!
I´m flying from my past mission http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/imagine2-its-march-10-2020 the Philippines were just a stop. Now I´m in Rio de Janeiro!!!
It´s Carnival in Rio!!! This is a special day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3mYDwRTALo
- Agent Amanda are you sure this fits this way? I ask
- Sim!!! Legal!!!
I hope this Carnival costume with solar panels wont fall in the middle of the Sambodromo. Every year each Samba School chooses a different theme, some school can choose to represent for example- Peruvian culture and another school can choose to represent the power of science. It´s a fun way of learning about stuff while dancing with your neighbors . This year something unprecedented happened. All schools have one common theme this year- Renewable Energies. One Samba School Chose wind power, another one solar, another one wave power, another one compost gas power . . . But once again I didn´t quite get it and I don´t know why. In another failed attempt to blend in through a disguise I´m just getting weird looks and some laughs. I wonder why.
A week ago Rio was in great danger of not having a Carnival. The droughts have the reserves in an all time low. The first time this happened was in 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8354460.stm A year without a Carnival. Imagine that!!! Samba Schools rehearse a year in advance. It´s the great social equalizer and with no doubt the BEST PARTY IN THE WORLD. Brazil a country full of energy running out of it!!! The Evoke Network has been working since 2010 on this issue.
Here is how WE did it together:
- The experts are always the local Agents, it´s not about age or education degrees. It´s about a profound knowledge of the needs, culture, values, language and local networks.
-Then we crowd-sourced with locals and later with Agents around the Planet. The central concept we worked with is eMergy http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/embodied-energy-emergy
- This thanks to solar smart phones and the "one solar smart phone per child" and the "one solar smart phone per social innovator" programs sponsored by chip, tech, solar and phone companies together with governments. Phones are not free. In every school you play a board game (areas with no electricity) or computer game similar to EVOKE. Once you reach a certain amount of points for community work, internship work and knowledge you earn points. After 1,000 points you earn your brand new cool looking Solar Smart Phone. The first idea of how the solar panels will look like came from Agent Cornelia Harper http://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/CorneliaHarperTang ; http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/solar-gadgets The sponsorship for this programs was achieved thanks to the EVOKE PR Group
- People who don´t have access to the solar smart phones recharge their cellphones with a hand cranked device http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/handcranked-cell-phone-ch...
- Agent A.V. Koshy http://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/avkoshy found this
http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/knowledge-share-3 in 2010 so now in 2020 the massive production has brought the prices down. This is a perfect solution for some favelas that get a lot of sun and wind up in the morros.
- William Kamkwamba http://www.urgentevoke.com/video/video/search?q=William+Kamkwamba is now one of the most innovative Engineers in the World. He kept on developing renewable energy sources, has the patent for a couple of ideas and made a couple of billions. One of his best inventions was not a specific wind turbine but a network of libraries where people can learn from books, even if they can´t read well the library staff is there to teach them.
- Whenever we had problems inside the EVOKE Network or with locals the EVOKE Conflict Resolution Group helped us solve the problems.

- Whenever we had problems inside the EVOKE Network or with locals the EVOKE Conflict Resolution Group helped us solve the problems.
- A Distributed Network of Renewable Energy. No single-source of energy can solve all our energy problems. So we harnessed renewable energy from everything and everywhere. Garbage, the sun, the wind the waves. Many Community Urban Farms have cheap wind mills made out of scrap and refurbished solar panels, a workshop in all farms teaches this skills. We collaborated with www.Freecycle.org
Apartments and houses have small wind mills and solar panels and solar balloons too. Some Community Urban Farms and even some apartments and houses now sell energy to the smart grid.
- Now the Sambodromo and Samba School and allegoric cars have all power generating dance floors http://www.sustainabledanceclub.com/ and the sound system is `powered by all the bicycle users in Rio http://rockthebike.com/pedalpoweredstage
- Agent Rahul http://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/RahulDewanjee collaborated to build this zero energy fridge http://www.urgentevoke.com/video/refrigerator-zero-electricity
We are at a samba school. Samba schools are an amazing way of bringing all the community together. People from all walks of life join together to prepare for carnival a year in advance. It doesn't matter how you look or what age you are, or how much money you make. It´s just about having fun together and I´m all for that!!! Batucadas are now a major power generator. Every time someone hits a drum with a beat that force is transmitted through the sensors that acc**ulate that kinetic and sonic energy and transmit it through this little wires and that goes directly to old car batteries. Agent Alyssa Laurel Crum http://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/AlyssaLaurelCrum is an Anthropologist but with this post she unleashed the power of the imagination of many scientist Evoke Agents around the world http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/noise-anyone
We take the bondinho that now works with a mix of the old electrical grid that is not very reliable and some old refurbished solar panels and solar balloons http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/04/10/sunhope-solar-balloons/ in the distance a Capoeira School is practicing and we can hear the music.
What´s interesting is that people from the favelas are so much more resourceful and can live with very little resources and they are adapting so much better than the posh areas. Good news is Brazil had almost all the homework done http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blogs/renewable-enrgy-in-brazil and this year of 2020 Brazil is celebrating in the Carnival that 98% of the energy here is renewable!!!
It´s all about decentralizing energy production. Instead of a centralized grid now everyone is an energy producer. eMergy is in the center of this issue. We are in Santa Teresa eating a delicious Mokeka from the aquaponics tank.
Monobloco one of Rio´s oldest bands throws a party for all the people that participated in this project during the last decade. The more we party the more energy we produce. It´s a song for nature- Que Beleza!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgDT-hZwAVg ;

i gave you a powerpoint for innovation and creativity, but do not forget, at this moment in time we communicate and talk of advances, with which we need to solve the worlds problems.When we are able to succeed, then for the next 100 years we ahve to create a power source, in people, which other destroyed over 1000 of years.I am with all of you, but being realistic is patrt of the solution.
Also i need to cut down on answering all these emails, it stops me solving problems of sustainability and facilitating organisations in connecting with others.When you know organisations or companies in your part of the world , who likes to connect with people in asia let me know.mostly technology to address all our issues

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. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…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
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.
