Andrew Gondzur from St. Louis, MO has installed a kit that added a rechargeable electric motor to his old bike. With the twist of his handlebar he can go from pedaling to a nice boost of "motorized help." "'I can, go farther and faster than I would if I were just pedaling," he says, which is why Andrew now takes his bike, not his car, to the post office, the library, his childrens's schools, and the grocery store. "Why take 5,000 pounds of car and burn expensive gas to get one thing you forgot at the supermarker? Now I leave my car at home." Its the equivalent to a hybrid car, no idling, both pedaling and electric at your fingerprints, literally. Type the rest of your post here.
Earthships offer sustainable housing options. I was down in Taos, NM on a day off from work and visited an Earthship community. These seem to be a very sustainable as well as intriguing housing option. The main issues that emerged when discussing Earthships with my coworkers included modifying city housing restrictions or the Earthships to allow them within city limits, insuring such homes, and getting people to see Earthships not as a housing possibility for hippies but as a plausible housing option. Check out the website and see what you think.
Naturally Attracted... This might be a good documentary film for Movies on the Grass, though it is only 45 minutes long...
I have included some additional information about Michael J. Cohen below. It is from an article called "Maverick Genius at Work." In the 1985 Bureau of Applied Sciences International Symposium on the Promotion of Unconventional Ideas in Science, Medicine and Sociology, the so called "Maverick Genius Conference" in England identified Dr. Cohen as a maverick genius because genius has been described as "One who shoots at something no one else can see, and hits it."
It has made me curious anyway... What do you think?
