Unscramble the Blue Letters
Here it is. And this is, I think, a perfect example of what Robert Wright was talking about in those non-zero-sum things. So not only do you have hlateh bitfenes, you have environmental benefits. But this is one of the incredibly rare situations where you also have economic benefits. People can make their own cooking fuel from waste products. They can generate income from this. They can save the money that they were going to spend on charcoal and they can produce ecsxes and sell it in the market to people who aren't mkanig their own. It's really rare that you don't have trade-offs between health and eiccomnos, or environment and economics. So this is a project that I just find extremely exciting and I'm really looking forward to see where it tekas us.
