I find it difficult to reconcile this POV with environmental concerns. That elusive "debt" is 100% convertible to real resources (land, water). We have more debt because we consume too many things we don't need. How is that good?
- aurailious 8y agoIs education something we don't need?
- avip 8y agoEducation can be bought for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.
- reirob 8y agoEducation free of charge and accessible to every child, in my opinion, is the greatest achievement in human history. However education for which you need to get into debt is something that I really don't think is a progress. It is still better than no education or education for which you have to join a political party or a religion, but it is actually a step back from free education.

- reirob 8y agoCan you please provide any evidence for this? I am really curious and interested. At the same time I have the impression., independent what the environment-protection-movements want to achieve or actually did, the state of the planet did not improve.
