- The new spirit of governance in Washington should definitely engulf the Foreign Relations Committee. I applaud John Kerry and Dick Lugar for taking up environmental policy as a key tenet of foreign policy. Africa already has some of the worst democracies and the worst rates of deforestation.
But the questions is: How do you stop deforestation in a country where the very livelihood of its people depends on forests for lack of a better economic option?
- Growing up, my parents often complained why they had to bother buying books that I would finish on the trip between the bookstore and the house. I have since really come to read most of my books on the computer (it is painful at first, but since I juggle up to 3 books at a time, it is useful) and I just discovered the Netflix of books, Book Swim.
But could the future be towards the Kindle? The reason why I mention the kindle is that it could actually be a solution to the perennial problem of schools in the developing world: Outdated & expensive books plus carrying 30+ books in your book bag everyday to and from school.
The government funds could be used to buy updated curricula and machines. It would actually be neater if the $100 latops went towards this direction.
