The EDITS-ARTS Competition called for submissions to imagine "life in 2050 with much less energy" into art. We challenged positive-minded people to imagine a low energy future.

How do YOU imagine a world that consumes much less energy by changing behavior, habits, business traditions, and many other aspects of daily life? How will people live? Would everyday life look drastically different in 2050? What are the key social and technological changes that will help? Will there be major behavior shifts depending on where you live?
