Energy Independence, One Step At A Time
- and said:
I really like the idea of making energy in this respect. However, I’m not sure if it was on here or someplace else that a researcher ended up figuring out that it was more environmentally friendly to drive than it is to walk.
This was because of the energy it took to transport and prepare the food that is used as energy for for walking produced more greenhouse gases than driving did.
So the “fuel” for walking still has an impact. So walking isn’t necessarily as free as it may seem.

Design 21 Contest Giveaway

Social design is taking classic design ideas and problem solving and applying them to more than aesthetic ideals. Design is just taking a problem, and solving it as simply as possible. So for designers to take their time and present solutions to deeper problems, thats social design. Design that will shape how we live our lives more directly than a cleverly designed end table. Modular housing that is easy and cheap to manufacture, an easy to use water purifier that is run without electricity for areas that need it desperately. Those are examples of social design.
