Summary of: What can save the rainforest?

Topher White started his speech, telling his experience when he went as a tourist to Borneo. The first thing that he noticed was la noise of the jungle of Borneo. It was made by insects and gibbons. Actually this part of this country was a sanctuary for wild life. But it had a big problem: the illegal logging. The guardians who are supposed to protect the jungle, couldn't do that by noise. White notice that there was coverage of cell phones in this place, and he had an idea: use the technology (cell phones) to detect logging. He did it. White developed the device with solar panels and system which allowed detected the sound of chainsaws. When this system detected the sound of one, the guardians went immediately. The loggers stopped doing that. The successful of this system was global. Curiously, many people around the world send their old cell phones to them in order to be useful yet.

Personal impression:

In my opinion I find this story amazing, for many reasons: first, technology not necessarily destroy the environment: it can save that. Second, we can use 'trash' again in order to make a good thing. Finally, with some of imagination and good intentions, we can make great and beneficial things.
