Main Paineframe posted:playpump was an idea to replace hand-operated water pumps in africa with spinny playground equipment, with the idea that they would siphon off the kinetic energy from kids playing on them to operate the water pump. charities and aid organizations loved it and tens of millions of dollars were spent on building them all over africa The problem is people supporting dumb as gently caress NGOs founded and staffed by yuppies who want to spend a few years saving all the poor little black children in africa with which they inevitably pad out their CVs before getting jobs at Goldman Sharks and Bain of the earth Capital. When you give money to charity make sure its to NGOs like Oxfam and MSF.

i would imagine also that tying your fresh water output to "how hard your 5 year old children are running around in the African sun" might just be a net negative energywise

Perhaps if there was some way we could gamify this problem?
