.forum - week eleven.
8 ways to make the Electronic Music Unit more environmentally friendly:
1.
Move to Outer-space.
The amount of CO2s used by cars in Earth’s orbit is little to none.
2.
Rely solely on solar power.
Orbiting Earth allows one to constantly stay on the ‘day-side’ of the planet, hence giving students 24/7 access (See: terms and conditions) to solar power.
3.
Recruit more ‘green’ people.
People like hippies and vegans are very environmentally alert, have strong morals grounded on saving the planet.
4.
Install “Braincaps” on all EMU students. Communication will be made solely through braincaps.
Telephathic Braincap communication is even more energy efficient than sending an E-mail, because they require a computer. Oh yeah, computers are bad!
5.
Recycle.
Recycling plays a crucial part in the survival of both the EMU and the planet Earth. The diet will consist solely of Soylent Green.
6.
“A Soma a day keeps the Jim-Jams away!”
Because life in Outer-space may become a bit like living in a mental asylum, eating nothing but toothpaste, Soma will be provided by the lectures.
7.
Habitat.
Atmosphere Laboratories will allow students to reconnect with their original habitat on Earth. Common multimedia habitats would include the forest, the beach and many other environs.
8.
Collaboration.
Students will be encouraged to bring traditional Classical and Jazz music students into the EMU, with a view to establishing long lasting collaborations. EMU students will truly be the ‘avant-garde’ musicians, bringing music toward a more sustainable world.

Jake, clearly you have over-dosed on Arthur C. Clarke, however I like your ideas, especially the outer space one ;-)
Further to that notion, could I suggest once we are in a secure orbit, we could simply discard waste by sending it on a gravitationally assisted trajectory towards the Sun, thus using solar energy for power production and waste disposal. Rest assured, it would be sterilised a million times over. Until in many years time, the Sun turns into a red giant and eventually sterilises us all a million times over.
hahahaha this is gold!
Lol, Jake.
All your own work? Impressive. Would you have a crowded inner-city environ, complete with Woman In The Red Dress?
re #3:
My own life experience has shown me that hippies and vegans are typically too stoned, tired and/or jaded to err on the side altruism.
*sigh*
But perhaps you were joking??..?
