We attended the monthly NYC Green Drinks event on tuesday. It's a great gathering of NYC entrepreneurs within the emergent Green Industry. This gathering offers us a global sense of what is happening in the sector along with the chance to pitch our own
permaculture business. This month's session had quite a collection of demonstration technologies. The current environment of inflated food and energy prices seems to have brought forth a wave of innovative inventions.
We saw a foward mounted bike trailer that is supposed to be 25% more efficient than it's conventional, rear-mounted counterpart.
There was one exhibit of tadpoles which were selectively bred to feed on sewage waste, and thus serve as living waste water scrubbers.
Yet another nifty innovation we saw was a google mash-up. It basically layered semi-realtime fuel consumption data-feeds onto locational markers within Google Maps. Thus, city planners would be able to graphically gauge efficiency spending priorities within different sectors of a metropolis based on need.
