Presentation by Mark New at the Inspiring Change Gathering in Cape Town, South Africa on 18 November 2011. www.climatesmartcapetown.co.za/events/inspiringchange
It is late and you have been walking all day. Your campsite is just on the other side of the river – however, the bridge on your map appears to have been washed away in recent floods. The river doesn't seem to be flowing particularly fast, but neither of you can swim.Your map shows another route to the campsite, but this detour would mean at least another couple of hours walking. Using the information provided decide if you would cross the river. I will show you some information. You will have 30 seconds to discuss with your neighbour then vote YES or NO (as a pair) as to whether you would choose to cross the river.Remember you cannot swim
