Yes. there is something so organic about this proposal, something quite humble, looking at immediate, small-scale solutions. Rather than studying the issue, build a small glass factory and use the sand. Turn dead bulldozers into raw material: the Cuban solution. Now Cuba is an interesting precedent for all of this. Because of the fifty-year embargo, everything in place in 1957 has been mined for alternative use and production.
I suppose I like this entry because it comes closest to my own. It invests people in the region with agency to work on building solutions they have the capacity to do. It is embedded in the area, literally.
