Think Outside the Box

Creativity and ingenuity are difficult traits to quantify. Some people argue that the capacity to develop and flourish new ideas is a function of hard work and perseverance. However, increasingly common reports indicate that creativity may have nothing to do with hard work at all.

Inspiration can come in a variety of locations. However, all too often we find ourselves inspired in places we did not expect to look. The shower is a beautiful example. Why do so many people claim that their ideas come to them in the shower? It is because people allow their minds to relax, travel to a different realms and then reset.

More and more information is cropping up about the capacity for people to forge new connections and create new thought by simply not thinking.

How counter intuitive is that?

By fully clearing one’s mind, we take ourselves into a new and unfamiliar territory. This territory allows links to be forged that would, otherwise, been impossible.

Similarly, frequently people find a bit of divine inspiration on vacation. Why is this the case? Well, because people on vacation are surrounded by unfamiliar sounds, noises, and cultures, they are forced to establish new pathways to relate. By linking something that isn’t to something that is, individuals form new associations, and by extension, view the world in a different way.

But wait, you say, why am I writing about this? Isn’t this an energy blog?

The answer is yes. However, energy, the environment, and inspiration are all highly intertwined. One cannot simply say energy is a stand along subject because it never has, and it never will be. Energy links to human psychology just as much as it links to birds migratory patterns.

So, when it comes to innovation, targeting our mind’s ability to create new connections in the energy field is overwhelmingly important.

Many people know the well-publicized innovators in the energy fields. Names such as Richard Branson and Elon Musk come to mind as the heroes of the entrepreneurial and growingly sustainable business world.

However, we need only look a bit harder to uncover some of the unsung heroes that lurk right beneath our eyes.

For instance, recently a Professor of Engineering has discovered a new way to clean up dirty water from fracking. Many people write fracking off right off the bat due to its negative water biproducts. However, rather than coming up with a different solution for natural gas harvesting, this Professor came up with a new way of cleaning the water so that issues with the polluting water runoff are not pertinent. Not only does this build in progression of technology, but it also takes advantage of the current economic and resource climate.

To read more about the novel use of the professor’s cleaning techniques, check out: <a href="http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/26/a-novel-way-to-clean-wastewater/

Living in Earth

By Keith Heyde

Okay, so you’re cynical, I understand. We all technically live ‘inside’ of the earth. Whether you want to include the atmosphere as part of earth, or if you want to call the buildings made out of earth originating material ‘earth’, it is easy to argue that we live within the earth in one way or another.

However, for the adventurous folk not willing to compromise creativity for cynicism, it is interesting to envision an earth in which humans live within the earth, rather than on it.

For a few people, this doesn’t take any imagining. There are people in Australia currently who live within the old salt mines near Perth. These establishments (similar to Uncle Owen’s from Star Wars) are partially exposed in courtyard like areas with the rooms housed in underground caverns. Interestingly, these housing establishments have remarkable insulation that result in immense passive and active energy savings. Furthermore, because the housing structures are truly underground, there is passive plumbing. It is truly a remarkably sustainable existence.

Then, for all of the Lord of the Ring enthusiasts, there are many individuals in both England and the United States who have constructed ‘hobbit holes’, houses under small hills with grass or moss on the roof. These houses allow for the benefits of above ground construction, while adding a means to further insulate and protect structures with an earthen layer above. Although they are plagued with some structural and decay issues, they still result in massive energy savings in both hot and cool seasons. Coupled with geothermal heating systems, they can comfortably warm inhabitants without any ulterior fuel source.

Finally, designer Charles Duchosal recently proposed an entire earthen city, built into a rock cliff. This project, a joint venture between Duchosal and eVolo is deemed the Mountain City and is designed like a series of aerially accessible ports into a cliffside. With access via aircraft or balloons, each duct would be an independent store, house, or office with interconnecting tunnels inside the cliff network.

The “Mountain City” was created in response to the rapid urbanization in Africa and Asia. Although the plan may not be the most feasible with respect to current building practices, perhaps it is time we looked past feasibility in the present and into sustainability for the future. The benefits of the Mountain City (limited environmental impact, excellent efficiencies, and increased natural light network) may not be the primary building factors in the present, but in the near future they may become a more important decision factor.

Certain cities receive great praise: Washington D.C.’s electricity plan was decades ahead of its construction and New York’s water system was a century. Isn’t it time we started making forward facing city decisions of our own?
