World Water day 2020
There are two things I would suggest:
First, a fun game... of guessing how much virtual water it takes to generate something, or a bunch of things... but things you can't just google, but have to use your head a bit. Say... How much virtual water does it take to generate one hour of facebook time, or to drive your prius 10 miles.. those kinds of things. And I would make a prize for whoever was closest.
Second, and connected to this, I would…

Pullin the "Me" Card.
So, I'm pulling the "Me" card. Not me in the sense of my own person, but in everything that I am doing, and in the many contacts that I have made through my time here, especially in the last 6 months.

I've attended several conferences on water (the most recent being here at McGill, wherein all of the GREAT lecturers can be viewed at… Continue

I study international development, but I am trying to focus on 3 things, Water, Africa, and Conflict, or more specifically, how these three things fit together (African Pastoralists vs Agriculturalists in how they compete for scare water resources in Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, ect.)

Celebration 2020: Powered by the future
In the year 2020, I'll be.. hmmm. 36. Holy crap. What shall we celebrate? It's only 10 years in the future, so how much will life have changed? Lets celebrate Thanksgiving (the Canadian version). I pick this because to be honest, I'm having a day where in a large way I miss having my family close by, of those I care about, to just chat over dinner, to be able to talk face to face with, and to laugh and tell jokes with over a meal, or a game of cards or something afterwards. Life ten years from… Continue

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
