Reporting on Sustainably Built Environments from Bricks to Cities
We begin with the do-it-yourself version of power generation: the bicycle. Convergence Tech manufactures the Pedal-A-Watt, a bicycle stand that not only generates electricity, it seconds as a fitness device. The power that’s generated can be used to power lights and/or other small appliances, such as laptops, cell phones, fluorescent or LED lights.
As someone idealizes the idea of living off the grid, Off the Grid, writtenby Nick Rosenoffers an eye opening experience of what it really means to get off the hamster wheel. Rosen, a journalist and a documentary film maker, travels around the US to meet off the grid residents who rely on themselves solely for their energy and living needs. Due to the lack of faith in the government and plugging into the mainstream way of life, off-gridders take matters into their own hands, literally and philosophically.
