Cloud+Classroom DIY water filter!!! Water art 2020
Journal entry 2020 "World Water day":
Today Cloud+Classroom celebrated water day and as a network, we worked together to create 17 water art installations, beautifull water filter fountains that were installed around our cities. I think that the community made a real impact on peoples perceptions of water use in their cities. Here are some posts taken from the forums where the efforts were organized:
NOTABLE POSTS RELATED TO WATER DAY
(during a talk about wastefull water features)
John: One thing that always bothers me about fountains is that they were always dirty, can we use that to bring to light the need for clean water?
Jane:Water features and fountains are beautiful, but many of these features create a lot of needless waste water which merely goes back into the water system though the sewers, to be cleaned again (wasteful!).
Tom: Here is some media that I found using the sites tools... it took me about 2 seconds sorry I cant be more help, I am just about to finish my notes from the class on DIY filters:

Gabriel: Only 3 months until water day! Can we have something ready by then?
Michele: I have an Idea, but I dont know If it will work... the technology is the same that we plan on using in the rural villages to clean their drinking water. The filtering technology uses simple materials which we can chaeaply get, and when combined with electricity, completely seperate the particles, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and any other contaminates from the oxygen and the hyrogen, which are also seperated in the process, After seperation both the particulate and the water are sanitized with UV light and collected as biomass. and the water is recombined using sparks. Now this is just a theory... But I think that if there was enough biomass in the water, you could actually power the wh*** generator with syngas. You follow?
June: Wow! That sounds like it could actually work! Listen, I want to try to make a protoype, and when its done, I can test the results over the weekend. I will keep posting videos with my results.
Terry: Its really unfortunate that there are so many fountains which use water, and discard the contaminated result into the watertable. Perhaps our goal should be to show how that can change. Im from New york city, we can create water features that dont waste water, and use it to show the error of the wasteful fountains. Maybe we could combine our ideas, and even promote your filters at the same time!
Terry: Ok th The plan is to showcase our new technology that Michele has invented, while creating environmentally sound water features. Since we are using the same technology that Michele is using in the rural villages to clean their water, we can create support to stop wasting water in our own cities, while helping her cause too!
Michele. Ok, here are the DIY plans for a homemade human/solar/wind/ powered water filter. I hope everyones Water day will be a big success!
Gabriel: Happy Water Day from Cloud+Classroom, we saw 15 users create installations of water art, in 7 different countries, not only did they highlight the waste of fountains, they also also all have water filters that use renewable technology! A little colaboration can go a long way!

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
The meal
It is 7'oclock, I was late home from work due to an assignment that i wanted to get ahead on. By the time I get home I am feeling extremley tired and I cannot be bothered to make a proper meal.

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
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.
