It is less expensive to have six men carry on their heads a mountain range of toori (remains of the mustard seed plant) than to use machinery. After a few hundred loads, the toori was driven by truck to support another underpaid massive labor force at brick factories, burned to heat clay to make bricks. Sure, such harsh labor employs people but at a marginalized level of existence - we want toori cheap because we want low-cost bricks for low-cost construction. The only one who receives a growing income is those who have access to cheap labor, inexpensive material, while only a few benefit…I don’t recall hearing prices for new construction anywhere on earth remaining the same or going down. Often I think there are forces at work that want and need perpetual poverty. To this day, I have not found an answer for this global reality seen on every continent, in every country. I have noticed what changes this cause and effect of poverty is another cause and effect that is more beautiful…access to education, a clean environment, empowering others with opportunity, and a means for equality. Each connects to one core truth for the betterment of society…human rights. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ India’s Daunting Challenge: There’s Water Everywhere, And Nowhere - Chapter 8 of the @outofedenwalk, my latest story in the August 2020 issue of @natgeo magazine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @natgeo @outofedenwalk #walkingindia #edenwalk #india #madhyapradesh #toori #tori #mustardseed #workers #hardlabor」8月10日 12時52分
