In Ohio, great links ...

I just left a wonderful small gathering of entrepreneurs, inventors, and engineers who came together through our EMC tour last year ... We've been dreaming about ways to help the world's poorest urban and rural people through a) toilet technology and b) micro-grid solar and wind energy.

I came across these two NYT op-eds ...
This one from Thomas Friedman ... about the environmental bailout

This one from Nicolas Kristoff ... about (among other things) composting toilets in Haiti.

I'm reminded of one of my favorite Bruce Cockburn lines:

like some kind of never-ending easter passion
from every agony a hero's fashioned
around every evil there gathers love
bombs aren't the only things that fall from above
