Sustainable homeostasis
Designing a new way to sustainably power something I use every day, it's not an easy task.
At least at first.
But then I started brainstorming and identifying all the things I power and use every day like computers, phones, TV, stove, washing machine, ... and I came to the conclusion that for sure, there is only one "object" which I use and power every day in the year, all 24 hours.
And that's my body.
So, I think the key challenge is to find more sustainable ways how to power our bodies.
We just have to observe how much power:
... and then acting is simple:
We don't need a lot of energy to be energetic! :)

We just have to observe how much power:
- ... we use to heat or cool our bodies?
- ... was needed to grow the food we eat?
- ... was needed to produce the package the food was put in?
- ... was needed to transport the food to the table?
- ... was used to produce the shoes we wear?
- ... will be used to destroy the waste we produce?
- ...
... and then acting is simple:
- eat and buy just as much as your body really needs,
- cool and heat your body moderately,
- and most importantly choose "the energy economical" products considering the wh*** product life cycle.
We don't need a lot of energy to be energetic! :)

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
