When I hiked on lava, on Big Island of Hawai’i, 20 years ago, I witnessed both magma going into the ocean, creating enormous amounts of steam, as well as passed by holes in the ground, called steam vents, where their heat blew upwards. That made me wonder, whether this could be harnessed and used as an energy source, just like with solar, wind and water power. Can it?

To live more eco-friendly, I think the smartest way to enforce this more in society, is not by creating more fines and bans, but to simply offer better, cheaper, and more healthy alternatives. And, it’s up to us as a collective whole to create these alternatives.

Some great examples, I’ve seen online through the Instagram account @sambentley is making yarn out of agricultural waste, using algae to substitute plastic, and alternative ways of building small homes.

An other great source of innovative inspiration, is the Earthshot prize website, that you can find here. Or what do you say about live seawalls to help against rising water levels and ways to clean industrial waste water?

We shouldn’t forget the progress we’ve already made too, such as making plastic bags out of corn and using fabric ones instead, recycled paper, and biologically produced hair and skincare products. Little things, that still can have a great impact.

What could you dream up together with others?
