Ærø & Our Emergent World

In today’s session about innovation and our emergent world, we mentioned one of the Danish Baltic Sea islands, Aero, because of its technologies in energy generation so I thought it might be interesting to share these photos with you. 
I visited Aero last summer, and it is a truly charming island with beautiful natural scenery and remarkable picturesque houses. Although its inhabitants sum up to a rough total of 7,000 people, I barely saw anyone there under the age of 60! Yet, Aero remains serious about being environmental friendly and has the world’s largest solar power plants aiming to make the island completely self-sufficient in energy. Today, all of Denmark is following Aero's lead.
If innovation adaptation is not simply technology dependent but also socially dependent, then way to go people of Aero
