First cool idea:

As some of you may know, I spent over a year learning concrete technology, specifically so I could make a 5 foot outdoor swan sculpture that would live 45 minutes North & West of Toronto, in a rather cold climate…Later I got into making my own marble sculptures, & reinvented the steel armatures you needed to support these outdoor concepts using a no-weld bolting technique

Anyways, the following is a short video about a new concrete material that you just add water to & well, you get a whole building, sort of…It’s pretty neat…

Next cool idea:

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is the name for a type of bacteria that is probably living in the dirt in your garden…It likes to eat Iron & Sulphur(think Sugar)…

The cool idea is that in Finland they introduced Thio into their mines to eat the shale there…Thio, our friendly bacteria, eats up the Shale waste from the mine, & poops out things that are useful to make metals out of…

In Alberta we have a vast expanse of Shale…If we introduced little Thio into this muck, Thio could eat it & poop out some useful materials that us Canadians could make a whole bunch of neat metals out of…

Canada could have a whole new industry making useful clean tech metals out of Thio’s poop…

p.s. If you have several million dollars & a desire to invest in Thio, please write to me at grove@sent.com & I will forward your email to someone who knows more about this than me…

A cool idea that still hasn’t happened at the Zoo:

Years ago I wrote about an idea for ZooPoo…That if we took all the animal dung at the Metro Toronto Zoo, & put it in a cooker, we could heat the Zoo on ZooPoo…

People in other countries are already using Poo to heat their homes & even to cook with!(not as gross as you might think)…

Anyways…If someone with vision & maybe a few more million dollars thinks this is a worthy eco-friendly idea, then maybe we can work together to help ZooPoo become a reality…

Or feel free to go it alone if you like…I think it is a great idea, & you are free to use it…
