Project 3

1. Your idea's name:
Self-efficient homes.

2. The category that best describes your idea:
Energy

3. What one sentence best describes your idea?
For the good of all, lets build self-efficient homes

4. Describe your idea in more depth
We need to improve our way to build houses, in this days, a house is a very important place for all the world, but in many cases here is where most of the energy and resourses of this planet are spent indiscriminately, so I plan to start building houses that can produce many of the resourses that it will need. For example, in this days the water of the toilet is pure water, instead of using pure water for the toilet, we can use the water previously used for exmple in washing our hands, or the water used after you take a bath. Also the house must have a system in the roof to recolect the rain, this water can be use for watering the plants, for doing the cleaning of the home, etc.

The house should have a grave where all the waste of the bath arrive, and this grave is going to be use to generate enegy by the descomposicion of organic matter organica, the graves is gping to have some bacteria that are going to produce methane, this methane can be used to cook, to heat the water, etc. The descomposition of organic matter also generates phosphorus, and nitrogene, which can be used as fertilizers.

In the roof, there will be some solar cells, that catch the solar energy, and they transfpormed it into electric energy, so the house will work through solar energy. Also in the roof, there will be plants, that produce oxigen, to reduce the pollution.

5. What problem or issue does your idea address?
My idea talk about energy and resourses, in this days, fosil fuels are being exhausted, therefore we should find new forms to generate energy, therefore I propose to produce electric energy electrica in solar cells by using the solar energy and to produce methane by the descomposition of organic matter, so we are going to stop consuming LP gas or natural gas, which are being exhausted. On the other hand the pure water is finishing and nobody uses the rainwater which is very useful.

6. If your idea were to become a reality, who would benefit the best and how?
If my idea becomes a reality, it would benefil the planet, and all human beings, because it will make this planet a better planet, with less polution, and because we can have more resourses by generating energy in our homes.

7. What are the initial steps required to get your idea off the ground?
That the governments support the initiative, and that the people believes in my idea and make conscience to modify their homes for the good of all.
