What’s your dot?

One city in France was wide-awake early in the trend of going green. Located on the country’s west coast, La Rochelle now has an eco-transport system to be proud of.

La Rochelle in western France isn’t just a beauty spot, it’s a city whose green credentials leave others green with envy.

What’s become the city’s grand project all began in 1976 with hire bikes, an idea many other cities are only now beginning to adopt themselves.

These pick-up-and-drop-off bicycles are available all over town.

With a monthly subscription of 25 euros they’re free for the first half hour, then half a euro per hour.

Users simply swipe a card and off they pedal.

The swipe-and-hire system now includes electric cars.

Local resident Peggy Landon explains why she sold her car when she started using the system.

[Peggy Landon, Local Resident]:
”Well it’s obviously much, much cheaper. But I think also the other aspect that I really like is the sharing aspect of a car; everybody doesn’t need to have their own car.”

Next came electric boats … park and ride … and even deliveries.

To cut congestion goods are dropped outside the center and delivered by electric vans.

On top of keeping La Rochelle clean and green, local Vice President Denis Leroy is keen to transform the citizens as well as the city.

[Denis Leroy, Local Vice President]:
“The coming generation will not own their own car, it is less into cars than us, it is our generation that put the car everywhere. The car is a practical object so they use it for the time they need it and, seeing how much cars cost, they would rather spend their money elsewhere.”

The plan is to get people out of private cars, onto the streets and back into the community.

Peggy is certainly a convert.

[Peggy Landon, Local Resident]:
”To do something like this, to use these electric cars, what I feel is that it makes you want to do more for the environment. And to try and maybe explore other different possibilities where we can each do just one little thing to make a difference,” said Landon.

City authorities say this is more than just going green, it’s a philosophical vision.

La Rochelle is blazing a trail and those who are green with envy are keen to follow suit.

A very inspiring talk with real solutions from existing technology.

How can architects build a new world of sustainable beauty? By learning from nature. At TEDSalon in London, Michael Pawlyn describes three habits of nature that could transform architecture and society: radical resource efficiency, closed loops, and drawing energy from the sun.

A very nice presentation by Corning. But they did miss one very important use of glass in the not so distant furture…. SOLAR ROADWAYS!

The Significance of the Bosnian Pyramid Discovery

[Excerpt from Original Article]
In April 2005 I first traveled to the town of Visoko, 20 miles northwest from Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina. My attention was caught by two regularly shaped hills, which I later named the Bosnian Pyramids of the Sun and Moon…when I first saw their triangular faces, obvious corners and orientation toward the cardinal points, I knew that they had

to be constructed by a force other than nature. Since I had been investigating pyramids for decades I knew that pyramids in China, Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador have had the same type of soil and vegetation coverage.

In 2005 I started working on this project and paid construction companies and geologists to do core drilling and geo-morphological analysis. I then announced to the world, in a press conference, that the first pyramids in Europe had been discovered.

Perhaps by changing our beginnings we can change our present and our future for the better.

Report: The new access routes below the Bosnian Pyramids! - January 16, 2011
Abstract - Many readers know that famous geologists and archeologists doubted the artificial origin of the Pyramids in the Visoko Valley and even the presence of an ancient civilization in these areas, particularly with an advanced level of technology. Yet, as excavations proceed, a very ancient, increasingly complex and sophisticated underground maze is emerging. Therefore, after telephone news coming from the Ravne tunnels, we rapidly organized a new joint scientific expedition of the University of Trieste and Milan, in collaboration with the Foundation which is managing the excavations. What we discovered this time is even more amazing than previous expeditions so we decided to publish it immediately. But it’s just the beginning.

At the BIF innovation summit, Cat Laine draws on the Greek myth of Tantalus to explain the frustration developing countries face. She shows how we might help communities rich in human capital, but poor in resources and infrastructure, with cleverly engineered solutions.

Cat Lainé is helping people in developing countries get environmentally sound and affordable access to energy, sanitation and clean water. AIDG create small businesses that manufacture, install and repair green technologies for people living between $2-4 a day. These technologies help communities and families meet their basic needs for energy, sanitation and clean water.
