Future Air Travel
Manned Cloud is the 2009 name given by designer Massaud to his floating cruise ship.
Due to accommodate 40 passengers in 20 cabins and cruise at 130km/h, let's hope the materials and propulsion are eco-friendly for this to get off the ground.
Parajet Car from Wiltshire, England has already flown over deserts and has impressive credentials as the first bio-fuelled flying car.
Have your say!
Future Cities
Floating Cities
Rather than building up our city's defences with dams, architect Vincent Callebaut has put forward an alternative future
for the victims of rising water if current climate change predictions take affect.
The floating ecopolis, inspired by Amazonian lilypads, is designed to be completely self-sufficient in both power and water, through solar power, wind turbines and rainfall collection.
The World’s First Zero-Carbon, Zero-Waste City
Masdar (meaning the source) is being built near Abu Dhabi, UAE to house 50,000 people in a city using solar, wind and geothermal power, desalination, grey water and extensive reuse and recycling. Driven by Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, it offers a sustainable urban blueprint for the future.
Back to the Basics
As mentioned in our lifestyle page, however, there is an older path to reducing our impact on the planet that will feel familar to Christians and Buddhists alike. "Live simply. Meditate. Consume less". Think more. Get to know your neighbors. Borrow when you need to and lend when asked. Praise that philosophy that Small Is Beautiful: "Amazingly, small means leading to extraordinarily satisfying results."
