  1. How about the fact that algae can enrich the soil, thus improving production? It can also feed fish and animals.

  2. Algae is rich in proteins, vitamins, and omega fatty acids. Makes you wonder why it is not yet a staple food worldwide.

  3. Warren Buffett’s son says charity fuels a ‘perpetual poverty machine’ and rich people giving money away eases their conscience but doesn’t solve the problem.

  4. So true, I wonder when we will make use of this idea and make the world as good as it could be for those who are less fortunate. Not too soon I guess, it’s just business as usual.

  5. Didn’t realise this existed. or that people gifted each other stock and shares. Interesting how it is coming along now we better apprecite we should give to charity, rather than we should trust the government to give some of our money to charity. Big difference.

  6. Careful now! Councils threaten to fine people they think put things beside rather than in the bin.

  7. A designated space next to big street bins would be good. People do it anyways, most don’t have cars or access to get bulky stuff to the recycling centre. For those who can’t you can always apply to have them pick it up. But then, people in your street won’t be able to take it off their hands before they arrive, which is a shame.

  8. The UK is lagging behind on this for sure. No mention of what we are doing to cut the waste. And it is unlikely we will now that Europe isn’t ruling us properly.

  9. Prizes totalling £45,000 have just been allocted to innovators from commonwealth member countries who suggest forward-looking solutions, which advance their values. Nobel should follow in these footsteps for sure – sustainable development wasn’t even a thing when the prize was set up.

  10. Agreed, would be a good idea to have a specific Nobel Prize category just for sustainable development. As far as I can see on their site one one winner has been “for contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace.”

  11. Just give them the money or go to jail – even if you have to steal the money – it’s a silly situation in lots of countries and gets exploited by governments time and time again.

  12. There should be a job waiting for anyone that wants to pay off their fines but doesn’t have employment. Any decent society would set that up as soon as they set up the judicial system.

  13. Think this has been done, not sure if they will take off though.

  14. Hmmm, still not sure if they fixed this…. “Only 5,000 of the 15,000 shelters that UNHCR bought in 2015 have been deployed, meaning that two thirds of all shelters manufactured, worth a total of $12.5 million, have yet to be used.

    The rest have remained in depots while it carried out an investigation into fire safety and other problems, UNCHR told Dezeen.”
