Pop!Tech 2006: Dangerous Ideas
Robert Freling, Executive Director, Solar Electric Light Fund
Just when things were beginning to look a little grim, Robert Freling arrived on the scene from SELF, the Solar Electric Light Fund. He is working on electricity as the groundwork for all of the rest of the fundamental development goals. Along with Robert and SELF, the Pop!Tech conference has taken steps to be, not just carbon neutral, but carbon negative. Every bit of carbon dioxide emitted into the air from Pop!Tech participants and their travel has been offset by Pop!Tech and SELF's rural development initiatives. We have left things just a little bit better, maybe even enough to use Kevin Kelly's idea and say that our solution was 1% better than our problem.
