I’ve decided to track back where my energy comes from and where it goes and make sure there is a renewable and sustainable path, for however the evolution goes, all the way though. On the input for electricity, we are planning on installing an adequately-sized PV array that can be grown when electric cars are added to the mix. But, for now, we can only add less than 100% of the electricity that we have used on the average over the past two years, if we want community subsidies. Did I say communities? In this context, community subsidies are referring to local, state and federal economic programs, see DSIRE for more information on these programs.

I’m working on a pragmatic approach to living a healthy life, everything that I come into contact with I think about it, what it is, what it means in the context of my life, how it got there, how it was made, all that jazz. Little steps all the time and I love my life more for it. I saw an ad in the New Yorker the other day discussing how a scientific study demonstrated, across many areas of activity, that working for the greater good is good and does good. So, while we are on this track and while nothing is perfect and there is always more, I’ve decided to track where my energy goes and make requests that my energy goes in a good and healthy manner.

The first step is going to be addressing my communication signals, so I’ll make sure to brush my teeth and floss and take care of those temporary fillings and then look at how I charge my cell phone, where the power for my laptop is coming from and how I move my body around, which I consider the physical aspect to auditory communication.

The second layer will be to look at how these communications are received at the end of the initial transmission stage. Is the message clear? Is the cell tower down the street and the internet hub in the house powered by photovoltaics? These are the questions to ask, I’ll let you know how it goes. After that, a mesh-networking approach will be applied, based acceptable limits upon my personal dynamic spacio-temporal energy profile. Or, I’ll just go for it and see where it takes us. I have a feeling it will bring us all together in a healthy and harmonic way.
