What 4th Graders Taught Me
Two weeks ago, I spent my day with a group of very intelligent 4th graders sharing with them the importance of water and its use in semiconductor manufacturing. If you are not aware, in short, we need ultrapure water to remove impurities from our silicon wafers. But as I started talking with the students, it was quickly evident they knew that water is a critical and scarce resource. A few students even shared with me, on that ironically rainy day, how technology can help save water. Their enthusiasm was contagious and today, on World Water Day, if caused me to reflect on our progress at Intel and on what I can do at home to save more water too.
SDGs and ‘Household’ Governance: The Neglected Cost of Extractive Development
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) embody the desire for development, but also the rebranding and exacerbation of (capitalist) sustainable development. In their new article in Sustainability Science, Mary Menton, Carlos Larrea, Sara Latorre, Joan Martinez-Alier, Mike Peck, Leah Temper and Mariana Walter (2020), review and analyze the SDGs in relation to (an expansive reading of) environmental justice. Menton and colleagues give credit to the SDGs where it is due, while highlighting an enormous list of issues to be addressed. The SDGs promote projects such as hydroelectric dams, wind energy (factories) and conservation areas that have resulted in serious ecosystem degradation and injustice against people, as catalogued by the Environmental Justice Atlas.
