The theme of my presentation at Mass Institute of Technology (MIT) University this afternoon.
It's a class on international development strategy.
It took me back to high school.
This slide explains how I turned from philosophy to scrap recycling.
Recycling goes beyond human health, it conserves energy and resources for future generations. The opponents of recycling have trouble coping just with the fact that kids they photographed 12 years ago are now adults working in smartphone factories in China, and understanding that Africans began throwing used televisions away 30 years ago. This is ultimately about whether we are intelligent enough, and care enough, to do things today which affect the generations yet to be born.
