random thought

Okay.. water level is rising in sea.... we are not getting enough rainfall... oil is getting scarce..

why don't freaking million's engineer work on a project to convert sea water into fresh water at the same time generate electricity by somehow converting energy created by waves or tides..... so we can sustain our sea water level + save gas + get more source of fresh water.... just charge agricultural people more money for use of those water to fund those project and operation... may sound crazy.. but could be our only option in future :(... I would definitely loved to be involved in such a life changing project like this... :) 

sustainability pt1

While I was taking class yesterday, for no reason... this whole scenario came across my mind..

There are two jobs.. each job requires one worker..

Job 1 requires 8 hours... but can be crammed to 7 hours if additional $10 is paid..

Job 2 requires 1 hours...

and hourly wage is $10....

What would you do if you were the boss...

have one worker do both job by cramming Job 1

or 

Have one part time worker to do Job 2.... 

The cost is going to be same in both scenario... which is .. $90... I am sure that there are people who would choose second option because they just can't do simply math and thinks first option would cost them more...

although if you consider all the indirect costs associated with each employees, you will find out that you are actually saving money if you go with first option....

btw...

what you, as an employer, should consider more is the social aspect of sustainability.. which in this case is the motivation of the worker or morale. 

to be continued....
