Food, Energy and Waste

So for the past 10 hours I have been retracing my steps to give people a glimpse into my journey with energyshare. And why... because progress is needed I do not envisage a landscape where we go backwards as some will comment... I especially find this when I talk of nettles Food... there is 333mg of vitamin C in 100g of stinging nettles, compared with 13mg in 100g of lettuce. ...I am suggesting a place which embraces and uses technological advance to its maximum potential integrating this with  the concept of local food production, energy and so on. . What matters is “today” and to embrace the very fact that we are part of natural systems, Education is needed.
Renewable energy and energy conservation...Plastic i know your thinking about that 2 !If you fill the bottle one third full of oil (33%), that's the amount needed 4 one plastic bottle the development of renewable forms of energy, such as wind and solar, is likely to increase playing a key role in tackling climate change. Some forms of renewable energy development will be more acceptable than others. Preference should be given to those forms that make use of, and contribute to, core elements of the landscape, such as wood fuel. 

Raising awareness of Renewables

To gain support for my campaign Green Energy we leafleted 1200 to the local residents. We also handed them to shoppers in the village and gave some out at the Nec Birmingham Gardeners world. The leaflets which were posted through doors were in personalized envelopes with wholehearted messages.

Did we gain support... not one.

Food, water and power. Towards earth our Shelter

Cities are central to civilisation, and yet they are fragile entities vulnerable to the stresses brought about by climate change. It is therefore important to consider cities in relation to the provision of their basic needs-food water and power.Sustainable development in the name of mitigating climate change is top of the political agenda at a global scale, however Climate poses uncertainties. A common indicator of climate stress is what we know as the urban heat Island effect, take the UK for example, “London on average is the hottest part of the UK”[1]. The reasons beyond this are not so much measured by the degree but by the properties of the materials used in modern day construction, these materials retain the warmth of the day and release this heat very slowly during the night, this man made micro-climate in effect is contributing to climate change on a global level yet locally implications are seen as immediate and rich in complexity.
