Model around consumption should get deeply revised if we want to leave the world in a good state for our children.
Refurbish rather than build new buildings
Build sturdy hardware with replaceable parts
Build from natural materials as much as possible, and invent a new concrete
Stop polluting by sprinkling deadly stuff to grow crops and make things
Develop recycling aggressively (98%)
Stop using oil derivates everywhere
Stop using nuclear fission as a power source
...
Problem is that it is antipodal with current economical growth models
- rplst8 6y agoYou had me until "stop using nuclear fission..."
- jojo2000 6y agoIf everyone agreed on everything, the world would be less fun ! My main problem with nuclear fission is that we generate a lot of waste that is almost impossible to dispose of and very dangerous. We don't even know, in case of a civilization breakdown, how people would manage the situation if knowledge was lost. [0] edit : ray of hope here [1b] Currently there has been many accidents with nuclear power, and we don't know how to manage those. Fukushima is still releasing lots of radioactivity in the sea. Yet radio activity about this is close to zero. [1] And new ways to tap into fission power (pressurized reactors) are dangerous and hard to build. Yet, I shall agree with you, that there is no definite solution to the energy problem, consuming less would be a good start.
