    The problem with the tragedies averted is that you can’t count them. EnergyControl have been active in Spain for over two decades now, and I’m quite sure they have quietly saved lots of lifes, apart from having become the de facto source to factcheck every new drug scare from the media. Last year in an unrelated conversation with an aussie he was telling me how he felt most of Australia’s culture was copied from somewhere else as if that was a bad thing, and my point then was that the pro of that is that you can copy just the good stuff. My point stands: EnergyControl is something I think you won’t regret copying.

      There is also dancesafe.org that’s been around for 25-odd years in the US too. Ever since I heard about it in the late 90s/early 2000s I thought we should totally have an org like that here in Aus too.
