The Dirty Secret to Solving Many of the World’s Greatest Challenges
If you watch the news, it may seem like the world is on fire. For decades, the number of people living in poverty was on the decline, and now it is on the rise, as is the number of people living on one meal or less per day. The food that we eat has been grown covered in chemicals that have contaminated fresh water and salt water alike. The good news is that the solution is at hand, but it may involve us getting a little dirty.
