A crash course in changing the world.
Water is really important for us, we need it for drinking, taking bath, washing clothes, etc. So, it's okay to use water for those things, but there is one very big problem when we are using the water and that is we are wasting it.

Taking bath is really important for our body's hygienic, but it uses 19 thousand galloons of water a year and over all the water used in the…

In 2020, I'm living in United States of America by myself studying in University. I'm also a professional basketball player in the NBA. I always wish to play in NBA since I was in grade 6 and I also always watch the best professional basketball player in those days. But now, I don't need to watch them play, because I'm already in the situation where they were 10 years ago. Many people had helped me improve in basketball and because of them I can have a good life like these. But, because…

Alternative Currency is the money that can only be used in a community, but not outside of it. Also, alternative currency is for the people that are using the money, not the people that have the money and I think that no one have the money, all of the people are using the money. One of the example of alternative currency is barter. Barter is trading things with things, for example I want to trade my laptop with the watch that I want. Barter have advantages and disadvantages. One of the…

In the article, there is a person called Mr. Ban said, "On this special day, I urge all governments to send us…

Barter is old-fashioned of exchanging a thing that you want to trade to the thing that you want, that you are going to trade it with your thing. In old days, there is no money, so they only can trade things with things, for example a watch with a kg of rice. But, once there is money, it became a lot easier, because the buyer can just use money to trade/buy with the things they want/need. Also, if we use barter we will not know the value and we also don't know what to trade with, if we trade…

Their solution is just basically giving low cost water supply and toilets. But, the…

I think that providing skill is better than just giving finished technology, because finished technology is finished and the function can't be develop or expand more. Finished technology cannot last long, sometimes it will not functioning or even breaks, then they will just need to try to fix it or they can only throw the product away. In other words with providing skills, they can explore more skills by their own with their knowledge and imagination. Skills can also last long, it will never…
