A Danish tourist, sitting up wind, enjoys high tea at Hoboland
One billion people go hungry every day, says a UN report. What can we do to help feed the hungered and foodless? Why not plant fruit trees in parks and let anyone enjoy the tasty results whenever they like? The benefits are: kids get exercise by climbing trees and picking mangoes; fruit is healthy; trees are good for the environment; and it’s all free!
Also, this idea could help solve unemployment by hiring the jobless to maintain the trees, pick up apple cores, and look after disabled kids who can’t pick their own fruit. If a city does not like the idea of free food for all, the city could charge an admission fee and have the jobless collect tickets and ration out who gets what.
This podcast might be too long for your ADD-addled brain, but try to stick around till the second half when we solve homelessness and unemployment with the opening of “HoboLand!”
Brilliant or Stupid? It's gotta be possible...
