Brave and open-minded people sat down and felt comfortable saying, "Yeah, that shit makes sense."
勇敢而心胸開闊的人們在圓桌會議上闊談到：“對，那坨粑粑聽起來很有道理。”

I keep showing examples where everyone's reusing everything on-site. Why?

Well, when we look at our aging infrastructure -- and it is old -- and we look at the cost of updating it,
當我們目睹了這些老化著的器械，然后我們看到了更新它們的價格，
three-quarters of that cost is just the pipes snaking through our city.
三分之一的錢將花費在更新城市地下管道上。
So as we build anew, as we renovate, it might make more sense to treat and reuse everything on-site.

San Francisco realized that it made sense to invest in rebates for every household

Imagine if we embraced innovation for sanitation the way we have for, say, solar power.
想象如果我們能夠運用全新的衛生設施體系，就拿已有的例子途徑來說，太陽能。
Think about it -- solar power used to be uncommon and unaffordable.
思考一下它吧，太陽能曾經十分稀少且價格高昂。
Now it's more a part of our web of power than ever before. And it's creating resiliency.
現今它是我們能源鏈上的重要一員。它也逐漸表現出適應性。
We now have sources of power like the sun that don't vary with our earthly dramas.
我們現在擁有與太陽能類似的能源，而且并不隨地球陰晴而改變。
