Awareness?
Money saving strategies can take on many forms, saving energy cost is a big one in times of sustainable awareness. But energy savings is also closely related to efficiency, which some Peruvians have cleverly mastered.
Their actions, whether they are aware of it or not, are actually huge energy savers and could potentially ignite a new sustainable movement; a "flexible environment" revolution.
Through multiplying uses into one and the same space we offer more interaction, space occupation as well as lowered dependence on energy use for maintenance.
Image above reveal an outdoor playground used as a full-fledged gym for adults in the morning when the kids are at school. This, among other things, minimizes the need for indoor air conditioned gym space as well as the cost associated with it. The second image shows a patio extended onto the sidewalk acting as a breezeway, a storefront for market space as well as shade for the elder when watching the kids play on the streeet.
Could social interaction coupled with sustainable strategies and cost savings call for the best approach to an accepted sustainable revolution in central Lima?
In regards to the main goal of my visit; creating a Global Development Partnership mitigating environmental refuge, I have lined up some potential meetings. One includes a UN advisor and another entering into the Defensa Civil.
More to come.
