The cost of changing the world
$8,000
That’s the average price of a high-quality well in Africa.
The price of clean, reliable water for up 2,000 (underpriveleged, water-deprived) people (for up to 20 years!)
It’s also the price of…
A six-year once-a-day grande latte habit.
The “performance package” (bigger engine, spoiler, new rims) on a standard luxury car. Or a used one.
This watch. Or this engagement ring.
A little more closet space in an Manhattan apartment.
Changing the world is the easy part. It’s giving up enough of what we think we think we need to make it possible that’s difficult.
