Weird time to wake up. The clock shows 2.22am. Following an exciting day at KLGCC helping out Jie's second kid's 1st birthday bash, I knocked out at 8.00pm.
It's at these wee hours my mind obsessed about my current obsession. Two years ago it was worrying about armageddon, and I stumbled upon Edgar Cayce's prediction. Then the scare / faze passed. Funny how now I think so little of it. Next, it was earning extra income online. I search high and low and understood the cost and time that I need to commit into the idea. Luckily, my attention span seems to last only for a while.
For a while now, I've been thinking on serving the community. These are some few ideas that came to me under the low light beams my side table lamp.
1. Solar powered trams.
I imagined solar powered trams mapping out all places in flat plains. The wireless trams will charge after going pass platforms and tram stops. Power will come from solar stations in 1km parameter that connects to the tram platforms. Pioneering the project will cost millions. But it'll definitely curb the daily increasing density of the traffic. Thinking far ahead, this idea is actually a change that is good for our future generation. Less emosions, quieter, cheaper, more effective in dealing with congestions. Inspired by Amsterdam.
2. Solar powered short distance buggies
Next, solar powered short distance buggies will be cheap services that caters community needs for traveling. Having said this, there will be in need of electric charging car parks or kiosk beside the car park that allows people to rent the buggy and travel to their destination. Since the solar energy is free, the kiosk will cost lower than fuel. The short distance buggies will have exchange stations or drivers to hire if they need to travel independently. Think it as a taxi / car rental service with exchange stations mapped all over the city / semi urban areas. Inspired by KLGCC.
4. Solar powered Community / Service Centers
I see dreadful abandoned buildings all over the place I live in. And how I wish they can be converted into community centered buildings that help provide basic needs. For one, Green Houses. The buildings can be made in Green Houses for community to plant their crops and grow vegetables. People will have the chance to farm and exchange their crops in the hall. The buildings can also become Science centers, art gallery, book clubs, professional exchanging workshops, barter system exchange hall and non profit community service based centers. It's a great idea but required policy makers and contractors to assign ONE building to each community for free. Think of it like a mall only smaller, without the shopping and capitalism. Inspired by my lovely school. The most giving school that I've ever encountered.
5. Automated Recycle centers
Think of how badass it will be when all the more than 50 percent of garbage goes into this huge factory that automates the recycling process. Powered by solar as well, the main uses of the recycling center focuses on differentiating refuse, and remaking second hand raw materials, selling them to manufacturers. No more cutting down trees and making more plastics. Light weighted, longer lasting bricks that are made of discarded tires, clothes made of plastic bottle scraps, roof tops made of solar panels.
I'm thinking of coming up with a simple town planning idea and proposal for the council to consider. Whether or not it works depend on the community.
