A crash course in changing the world.
Resilience education focuses on the need for balance among energy s... For example, don't reply solely on a single type of fuel. If that fuel chain breaks, it'll
cause a shortage in our food supply and transportation.
We need students that are future thinkers when it comes to the future of cities. We need students who will develop tools like Ushahidi, a powerful new tool to share information in a crisis — whether it's an earthquake,
a pandemic, or outbreaks of violence.
Looking in, we can use a tool like Ushahidi in my own Buffalo community. Snow storms and floods anyone? To track the data, we would need Buffalonians communicating on their
mobile phones- what roads are looking bad, what routes to avoid, when
to just stay home. Tools like Ushahidi can make a difference in a few
people's lives, and help connect communities.
