Hey dweebo, thanks again for participating in my thread.
I found some of these intriguing to say the least, the fortune cookie is one that's spread by far & wide across the globe. Pretty innocent but symbolic contribution.
Desalination of water is a more effective one, desalination is increasingly becoming more inexpensive & becoming the way to getting water to needed areas. That one, with the global weather shifts is playing a larger role in the world.
