Triage is the process of determining the priority of patients’ treatments based on the severity of their condition. This rations patient treatment efficiently when resources are insufficient for all to be treated immediately. The term comes from the French verb trier, meaning to separate, sift or select.

WHAT IF… we filtered air pollution at the source?
“Air pollution has increased over the past 5 years; over 80% of inhabitants of urban areas are exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution.” – Stephen Hawking “Humans need to clean up their acts, our very future depends on it.” –
Over 6 Million people die annually due air pollution, making it one of the leading global risk factors for disease. Governments globally are trying to find solutions but most will fail…
“Vehicles are the most consistent source of pollution throughout the year unlike most others that are more variable. Vehicular fume is highly toxic.” – Centre for Science and Environment.
“By 2035, the number of vehicles on the road worldwide will double to 1.7 billion.” – International Energy Agency.
The only effective solution to air pollution is to filter the source!

WHAT IF… we focused on R&D of cultured meat rather than become vegan (and tell our friends that they are ‘Murderers’ whom torture animals)?
By 2060, the human population is predicted to rise to 9.5 billion and, with a rising demand for meat from rapidly developing populations in, for example, China and India, the market in meat is expected to double by the middle of the century.
Should we all go Vegan? The total biomass of our livestock is almost double that of the people on the planet and accounts for 5% of carbon dioxide emissions and 40% of methane emissions – a much more potent greenhouse gas.
WHAT IF… MacDonald was to lead the R&D and market introduction of cultured meat?

WHAT IF… we shared new moral stories to be told in schools?
We all agree that education is the future – the right kind of education is the future.
Wait! Wait! Wait! What does it mean the right kind of education?
In many schools it is still part of the curriculum to teach of “Us” versus “Them” rather than “We”.
WHAT IF… students could learn anywhere, at their pace, listening to a teacher of their choice?
We all experience the change we undergo nowadays in education, focusing on the tools and the platforms – What about the culture?
Educating future generations for love, altruism and adopting the global mindset is the future.
Educating future generations for gender and race equality, of protecting the earth and of exploring outer space is the future.
Stories, such as moral stories have the power to shape mankind’s destiny. How do you wish this story to end?
