As soon as her plane touched down in America, Riley knew she wanted to go back. At the age of 14, Riley started a non-profit, Generation Next, to help collect school supplies for Kenyan schools and returned the following year with 200 backpacks filled with donated supplies.

“I had no idea that God was going to use what happened at that school, with those kids, to begin weaving Africa into the fabric of my story,” says Riley. “God put a love for Kenyan children in my heart and gave me an impulse to want to help them.”

In Riley Unlikely: With Simple Child-Like Faith, Amazing Things Can Happen, Riley brings readers on her journeys to Kenya and the unexpected hardships and disappointments that showed Riley how to truly trust in God. From the first smells when her plane touches down to God planting the idea of opening a school in Kibwezi, Kenya, Riley shows the immense impact one life can have and encourages readers to find their own passions. Not everyone will be called to Kenya to build schools and community centers, but everyone can do something to make a profound difference.

From the very beginning, Riley had a vision that ordinary people can have extra ordinary impact, one life at a time. That dream carried her through several big twists and turns, but she always saw the beauty of God working in mysterious ways.

Riley’s focus turned to helping Kenyan orphans after she was diagnosed at 16 with a rare condition that left her unable to have biological children. She saw that even though she was not
-more-

able to have her own children, God had put hundreds of Kenyan children in her life to love and take care of.

Today, Riley is 19, and works full-time for her ministry and can be found at Riley’s Treasures, Generation Next’s thrift store and food pantry in Branson, when she is not in Kenya. Generation Next opened a school in Kibwezi, Kenya and in January bought a 7000 square foot building with five acres to use for a community center. They will teach women to sew, provide a feeding program, a safe house for kids and a sports complex for the kids to play on as well as farming. She and her new husband Graham plan to live part time in Kenya when Graham is finished with college. They will make their home at the community center, to oversee the day to day operations.

Riley Banks is the founder and executive director of Generation Next, a non-profit she established at the age of 14. Generation Next has built and oversees a school in Kibwezi, Kenya, and runs a thrift shop and food pantry in Branson, Missouri, to fund operations. Riley’s heart is for Africa and for reminding every young person that they can do more to change the world than they could ever imagine. She lives in Branson, MO with her husband Graham.

A Dot Earth reader, Jay Rappoport, followed up on Peter Barnes’s proposal for a “cap and dividend” system with another take on the idea that’s worth highlighting here, if only because the central metaphor is so easy to absorb — having a “bottle bill” for climate.

Of course, one problem with most bottle bills around the United States is the fee hasn’t risen to adjust for inflation, so many bottles still go into the trash because the five-cent surcharge is a yawn. And many drink containers (like all those water bottles!) are left out in most cases. (This recent Green Counsel post about troubles with an updated bottle-bill law in New York State is worth a look.)

In the case of climate, the fee would have to steadily rise to propel a steady shift away from energy choices that come with a lot of carbon dioxide releases, and it’d have to encompass all sources (and perhaps credit “sinks,” like new forests, that sop up the gases). Is that sellable?

Here’s Mr. Rappoport’s thesis:

I have been nursing a similar concept for perhaps 25 years, which I had first conceived in a sophomore economics class back in College in the early 80’s, when the ideas of externalities and market failure came together for me.

I believe this principal is as important and fundamental to understanding the general progress of human civilization, as the concept of erosion is to geology.

Without further delay, here it is:

UEMF; Recognizing and Addressing The Universality of Environmental Market Failure. By Jay

Rappoport – 11/17/07.

Introduction

The question to be addressed here is that of managing human generated global warming specifically, and more generally the larger question of sustainable growth, as all follow from the same underlying causes, and are amenable of the same solution. What follows is a brief discussion of the issues, and an effort to reframe, refine and build upon the emerging consensus view concerning the ‘cap and trade’ approach, and to suggest the minimum regulatory structure necessary to this end. The structure suggested here may be public, private, or collaborative.

Economic vs. Natural property

The fundamental underlying issue in this discussion is property rights. Everything that follows, turns on understanding the role of property rights in the market.

So to begin, consider everything in the world as a ‘good’, and falling into one of two types; as either part of ‘The Economy’ and therefore an ‘economic good’, or alternatively, ‘The Natural Environment’ and as such, an ‘environmental good’. The only difference being, that ‘goods’ in the economy have a defined property right, and that ‘goods’ in the environment do not. (Often referred to as “externalities” in economics, examples of environmental goods might be the polar ice caps, unpolluted water, the earth’s atmosphere, and so on).

An economic good can be bought and sold, only because it is owned by someone who had the property right to sell it. An environmental good cannot be sold, because no one owns it to sell it. As an example, imagine a stranger offering to “sell you The Brooklyn Bridge”.

 In order to sell an environmental good, ownership must first be established, at which point it becomes an economic good, and can then be sold. So, until ownership has been established, an environmental good cannot be sold, nor hold a price in the market.

Markets, Pricing & Incentives

Because environmental goods lack a property right and are therefore unable to hold a price in the marketplace, so far as the market is concerned, their ‘pricing’ is effectively pegged at zero value. This perception of the pricing of environmental goods as being at or nearly zero has profound consequences in the economic arena.

To the extent that there is model validity in saying relative profitability can be expressed as a comparison of profit/cost, then as environmental costs are pegged at or near zero, the relative profitability of environmental goods is perceived in the market as ‘very high’, if not infinite. (Consider for example the proliferation of spam email, with a marginal cost of zero per email. How much spam would be eliminated if there were a cost of 0.001 cent per email?)

In this short video, many U.S. communities from coast to coast that currently have public recycling programs in place are cited. Each of these communities listed report that public space recycling programs either make money or save money for their community treasuries as they make it easier for people to fully recycle unwanted bottles, cans and containers while away from home.

In this lighthearted look at recycling in public places, a consumer finds herself looking for places to properly dispose of her empties. When there is no place in public to recycle, shes quick to show how she saves the empty containers until shes home, said Tom Lauria, IBWA Vice President of Communications. At no time does she simply throw her empty containers away in regular trash receptacles. As title explains, Every Bottle Counts when it comes to thoughtful recycling.

IBWA and Bottled Water Matters decided to produce this video because we all have a role to play in expanding, and benefiting from, more public space recycling, Mr. Lauria said. Consumers should know they have the ability to make public recycling bins happen in their communities and that their cities and towns can benefit financially from making the effort to capture and recycle PET plastic, glass, aluminum and other recyclable materials.

Besides YouTube, the video will be available on the IBWA website (www.bottledwater.org), the Bottled Water Matters website (www.bottledwatermatters.com) and on the Earth911 recycling mega-site. (www.earth911.com) in the IBWA-sponsored section on plastic bottle recycling.

The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) is the authoritative source of information about all types of bottled waters. Founded in 1958, IBWA’s membership includes U.S. and international bottlers, distributors and suppliers. IBWA is committed to working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates bottled water as a packaged food product, and state governments to set stringent standards for safe, high quality bottled water products. In addition to FDA and state regulations, the Association requires member bottlers to adhere to the IBWA Bottled Water Code of Practice, which mandates additional standards and practices that in some cases are more stringent than federal and state regulations. A key feature of the IBWA Bottled Water Code of Practice is an annual plant inspection by an independent, third party organization. Consumers can contact IBWA at 1-800-WATER-11 or log onto IBWA’s web site (www.bottledwater.org) for more information about bottled water and a list of members’ brands. Media inquiries can be directed to VP of Communications Tom Lauria at 703-647-4609 or tlauria@bottledwater.org
