That Coca Cola use their distribution channels (which are amazing in developing countries) to distribute rehydration salts. Maybe by dedicating one compartment in every 10 crates as ‘the life saving’ compartment?

It’s from former aid worker Simon Berry. He’s started a facebook group and is trying to set up a meeting with Coca-Cola. If you have a facebook account, why not join the group?

1. “The next industrial revolution” from William McDonough and Michael Braungart.

2. “Arithmetic, population and energy” by Albert A Bartlett on the limits to growth. It’s broken up into 8 pieces on youtube but well clicking on the other episodes which are linked elsewhere on the same youtube page. Worth working through the hour or so as the speaker is very engaging and the end result is greater enlightenment on the problems.

3. Discussion featuring environmental activist Julia Butterfly Hill is well worth listening to.
