Transparent collective action is the path to a thriving future. Where is it happening in your life (even if a smaller scale)?
"The impact was dramatic. Water use fell by more than 55% in under two years, from 1.2 billion liters per day to about 500 million.When rains finally returned in 2018, the reservoirs refilled. But the deeper lesson endured: transparent, collective action can shift behavior on a massive scale"
Can Tehran use the Cape Town model to escape a water crisis 'Day Zero'?
As Iran’s capital Tehran endures its worst water crisis in living memory, few recent global cases offer clearer lessons than Cape Town in South Africa in 2018.

If I could flip one switch about collective human nature it would be this: whatever it is about us that makes "Sick, Sad World" get all the ratings while nobody can spare time or attention for "Healthy, Joyful World."
I get why it happens but goddamn do I wish anything could hit as hard on the timeline as something that sucks that everyone hates written by or about the worst person you know. I wish something good or interesting was able to get anywhere near the traction some shit that sucks does.
