Muddling through the water crisis in Flint, Michigan involved delivering bottled water to the city’s population of nearly 100,000 for almost two years. This was a city already in economic decline, of course, desperately in need of a helping hand. Today, I donated to an interesting Kickstarter project, to help build a new eyewear company in Flint, which will make eyeglass frames out of the tons of recycled water bottles that made their way to the city.
