Lightbulb!!!!

Just received a brilliant text from one of me UK vols who's back in community, he's working on the environment team and they've been coming up against a few challenges. The main one at the minute is that they had an idea to build community rubbish pits so that rubbish could be collected in one place and then dealt with in the correct way as apposed to being dumped everywhere a d anywhere. However yesterday they learnt that the communities intention was to burn the rubbish in these pits, which isn't very environmental friendly! However we gave some alternative ideas a d asked the team to look i to alternatives such as composting, recycling and decomposing of the the waste. 
This is just one example but overall they have been feeling a little overwhelmed as although they have an interest in environment, none of them are environment experts. Anyway I called and spoke with one of the group last night and reassured them that they should use what they know to the best of their ability and try to focus away from things they're not so sure about (as with no access to Internet it very difficult to research any new information) then this morning I receive this text:

Why didn't I think of this sooner? How did I learn everything I know about environment? Captain f***ing planet! That's how these kids will learn. Do you think vso would read a budget report that included the words "awesome blue mullet wig" and "red unitard with earth logo"? 

I can't wait to see how this is going to take off!!
