Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

Sometime when I was a kid, I remember making drawings of people exercising on machines that turned their work into energy. After all, it's work wasted simply for the cause of burning calories. Agents from countries not in the US will probably boggle at the concept. But I was just a kid. I had no idea how to even share my idea, much less implement it. But it's now a reality, completely independent of my idea. Adam Boesel has created what he's pretty sure is the world's first energy neutral gym. The building is powered by the various machines, as well as solar panels on the roof. http://www.wellsphere.com/add-adhd-article/the-carbon-negative-ques...; What's more, he has offered to help other gyms who want to go energy neutral. There's a gym just down the street from me. I was thinking about maybe bringing this to their attention. The worse they can say is "we're not interested."

Yup, as energy becomes harder to get, ideas like this will flourish. Going Green, gives innovations like this a good chance. If energy becomes cheap and easy, ideas like this will be used only in areas where needed. +1 knowledge share

+1 Creativity Joanna for thinking this up as a child! Kinda shows you the power in you. If you can dream it as a child, I am confident you can sell the idea to your gym. Go for it!
