    Self-assembly off-the-grid towns

    "To hope to address the emerging, gigantic problems of the 21st century we need bold, gigantic-yet-simple solutions. A likely reality is a population increase to around nine billion people; and committing to new population centres - in ways that are supportable and highly efficient - will be crucial.

    Imagine self-assembling a sustainable, off-the-grid town for 10,000 people - in six months. And then doing that in 10,000 places previously considered uninhabitable ..."

    It's hard to imagine the damage over-fishing is wrecking on the oceans. The effects are literally invisible, hidden deep in the ocean. But there is data out there. And when you visualise it, the results are shocking.

    LOST SPRINGS, Wyo. -- The Wyoming town of Lost Springs can finally count on the Census to get its population correct: Four, not one.

    The Casper Star-Tribune reports that the Census Bureau somehow missed four other residents of the town when it counted only one person in 2000. 

    The cause of that mistake wasn't clear. Leda Price, who lives on the west side of the 1-block Main Street, jokes that officials must have counted only her side of town.

    The 2010 Census, however, got it right this time when it found and counted all four of Lost Springs' residents. The newspaper reports that since the 2000 survey, two residents died but a newcomer moved in.

    The state highway department says it will change the town's population on signs.

    "“Everyone Ever in the World” is a visual representation of the number of people to have lived versus been killed in wars, massacres and genocide during the recorded history of humankind. The visualisation uses existing paper area and paper loss (die cut circle) to represent the concepts of life and death respectively."
