Schooner Bay on Come Alive Outside

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:01:01 -0400

Here's a webcast interview I just did on Schooner Bay with the good folks at JP Horizons. It's a far-ranging discussion dealing with everything from the agriculture of Nourishable Places to the Ecological Dividend of doing things a more natural way. It also includes the first discussion of "embedded fitness," a topic we'll definitely revisit here.

Hotels in the City

What's best for a hotel isn't necessarily what's best for the sidewalk in an urban setting. Yet hotels clearly belong in the city, because the travelers' destinations are most often somewhere nearby in the city. This clip examines these issues, and looks at a surprise South Beach solution at the end.

Traffic problems in the US pale compared to those of other places, such as Sao Paulo, Brazil. But we'll be much like them in the future if we don't make radical changes.

One Meal of Groceries

You don't need an SUV to drive to the grocery store and bring home a week's worth of rations when you live or work close enough to the grocery that you can walk there to buy groceries for each meal. Get a bit of exercise. And get fresher food.

You don't need a super-center or mega-grocery to buy the ingredients of an excellent meal. Here's a grocery two blocks from my office that only has 4,500 square feet of sales space.

Wind generators don't need to look like rooftop egg-beaters. If things can't be loved, they won't last. This video takes a look at a really cool alternative.

Invisible Solar Panels

Solar panels shouldn't be put on the roof... they should BE the roof, or at least a part of it. The only thing we're missing if we want to do this today is panels that can be adjusted at the edge to match any size of roof.
