Now of course solar cooking is nothing new, but why is it not more used - even in the north? Or why is biogas not more used? or why is “this and that” not more used??? well you can keep asking yourself why “this and that” is not or has not been done before. In order to make it work, that is order to develop a sustainable world where we all have access to a decent amount of “MATERIALISTIC CONVENIENCE” we need to look at a lot of things in RADICALLY DIFFERENT ways. And we need to be open to do things in new and most of the time very exiting and believe me or not often also very healthy and inexpensive ways. Solar cooking is one of them - so instead of writing more  have  a look at the video I have done here and feel free to come with comments etc. about whether this is appropriate or convenient in for MODERN LIVING. I think it is and I hope seriously to see some RADICAL SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION from Panasonic integrating SOLAR in some of all their products - the possibilities are endless and incredibly important to do, not only for the planet but as what Panasonic apparently already has realized - for business too. So please feel free to watch my little contribution to CONVENIENT NEW FOOD made in a solar cooker here - and btw the solar cooker I am using is from India designed and developed at the Ghandi Ashram in Ahmadabad, India - Maybe in interesting partner for Panasonic (read full article here).

Well believe it or not - Ricemilk is easier to make than going to the supermarket to buy it. If you drink soyamilk or ricemilk or any other nut or grain based milk then STOP buying it but do it yourself instead - it can contribute to the savings of tons of trees and many other resources + its far more healthy than drinking that old and most often seriously treated substances that they sell in these very problematic Tetra Pack composite packaging.

And see the next video too - its about what you can use the leftovers for - from the ricemilk production.

DIVINE FOOD - NEW FOODS - or rather food is DIVINE - or its like being in heaven indulging in DIVINE FOOD….and the whole thing about eating does not takes up a lot of time for me here on MMM - and yet it does. The intention with the little blog here on NEW FOODS - DIVINE EATING is purely to inspire you yourself to start exploring what you eat. Eating is obviously not just about food, but about life - if we dont eat we die….I personally believe that if we dont eat with respect and beautifully then we uptain the important matters from the food we eat in ways that might harm more than it helps.

Food is such an essential element in our life and therefore its also something I think we need to deal with - every day - in a appropriate ways - NOW and whats that…well see here and maybe you get ideas to how you can eat less (which all in all is good - just dont starve), more green, MORE RAW  (which should be as local as possible and grown with as big respect for nature as possible), more creatively and beautiful (which is part of the importance of “ENJOYING LIFE”), more improvised (which is all about daring to experiment every day in life - we need to explore life in all its aspects - also in terms of food - creative cooking without recipees is highly recommendable to enhance your ……well what do you think?????) …and many other issues - this is NOT a cooking blog, but hopefully inspirational hints about how to live a better life, for less, with less and MORE EXITING….

The great people who has worked and are working with me in Experience Design Lab and myself has been collecting masses of information through the years and we will try to make a lot of this available over time here in this site. Personally I “stumble over” so much exiting material everyday and I think it would be great to share it and also really like to remember it myself too. So this part of the EXDL site should be seen as a place where you can find inspirational information primarily relating to the COMMITMENTS Program topics (the initial first 5 topics are relating to this program and there will very soon be more material about all of this).

This is a very simple way of collecting materials and making the information / inspiration available. Obviously in the near future there will be a better system but thats all a matter of some peoples time and obviously also money. For now it would be great if you as a reader can come with hints, links or any kind of material in relation to the topics currently being investigated and here shared with the rest of all of you out there:

FASHION FUTURE

DESIGN LIFESTYLE

ENERGY FUTURE

CITY FUTURE

Have a look at WORLDBY here at Actics.

FOOD FUTURE

Fuel for cooking is a big issue all over the less developed world. Having started myself at MMM to cook on my wood-stove there i have realized that there are hidden posibilities - look here fx.

Please go to this site if you want to know more about this project http://www.ashdenawards.org/

Solar cooking

Here you will find more about how to cook using solar

Flints Cooking

As part of my own personal research in life I cook - and its fantastic what you can get out of literally nothing if you use your imagination. In the coming months you will here find inspiration to cook in the ultimate sustainable ways but with a maximum focus on the hedonistic aspects. Its divine, yet super simple and dirt cheap cooking using weed, roots, probably insects and worms and using solar cookers, wood burners, biogas etc. There will be a lot more coming in the near future.

MICRO MACRO MONDE CAMP / temporarily structures

We are currently investigating where to find the most eco conscious - primarily and initially - tent solutions for the MMM Camp in France. Here are some links to what has been found till now. If anyone out there has suggestions please contact me here.

We will initially start with tents that we get manufactured in India from organically grown cotton canvas. But here we show some of the links to interesting sites found so far:

The Flush and Forget Culture

In relation to new courses and also in relation to the development of the MMM Camp (see above) Im looking for new toilet systems. This is a couple of links to some interesting stuff. Also look at the chapter of same name - click here.

Here is a no-water no-chemicals but using electricity system. Looks really smart and is one of the solutions we will try at MMM. If anyone has experience with this system please contact here

By clicking at the image you get to the site form where you can buy the toilet.

More research and information will be available here in the future on fx.

Paper or cellulose based products

New materials in general

Water issues

Alternative service solutions

The hedonistic department - obviously needs to be developed in relation to the MMM Le Spa

-spas in general

-various techniques for well being using natural oils, cremes etc.

There will in relation to this soon be a publication on Public Bathhouses which was developed years ago.
