Water

How do you use water?  Do you conserve it actively or are you a spendthrift?

What would happen if we ran out of drinking water?  Cape Town South Africa is is in eminent threat of this happening:

This is a topic that encompasses many different issues- public management, climate change, personal consumption and lifestyle -just to name a few.

I look forward to discussing them with you on Tuesday the 8th.

Information

Are you careful about what information you put online and on social media?  Do you wonder what Google does with your searches?  Do you read the fine print before agreeing to use an app?  Well, maybe you should as you may be clicking away your right to privacy.

Mark Zuckerburg had to sit before the Senate for a hearing in the wake of this scandal.  Should Facebook and others be regulated as media companies or are they simply a tech company providing a platform for people to connect and share ideas?

Luckily for you, you live in Europe and the courts here take privacy a bit more seriously than in the United States:
