Heh very smart idea!

this is really wonderfull.

Nice response. BTW, how do you link to a specific time in the video like that?

Just type in whatever time you want to link to. It automatically changes it to a link.

By 2050 there will be 12 billion of us almost double the people, poor folks will be able to drink all this clean water. Don't know where the extra clean water will come from even if we clean up and get new resources now. But I realize Im raining on the dreams of corporate growth and
the world economy and third world economic development .
We need to continue the exponential growth of human population keeping economies going. Sustainability sad to say is environmental pipe dream.

You're right, it's hopeless. Why don't you off yourself and make room for someone with a better outlook?

Mechanical tools makes the job more efficient that manual labour. Besides, spending the same amount of time carrying buckets are not as fun. Why are you so negative about people's efforts to improve lives. If you really care so much, why don't you come up with a better solution? Take a trip and find out what people are doing, volunteer your time and ideas, make a contribution with your actions instead of spilling negativity on actual efforts.

Jamie, I think you're the one who is missing the point. It is an improvement from whatever they were doing before. Fine tuning the process is great, but getting the process started is urgently needed, while people like you come up with ideas to perfect it.
