Amory Lovins, co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute and a Popular
Mechanics Breakthrough Award winner, is no stranger to eco-friendly
initiatives, and this combined home and work space is a testament to
his ingenuity. The residential section of the building costs a measly
$5 per month to power, thanks to the structure’s passive solar design,
16-inch-thick walls and krypton-filled windows. Lovins doesn’t rely on a
boiler or furnace to heat the space; instead, two wood-burning stoves
take care of the job. But most impressive, perhaps, is the greenhouse,
which has churned out nearly 30 crops of bananas, as well as guavas,
pineapples and other tropical fruit rarely associated with the Rocky
Mountains.
Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.
