progress means nature was an eternally abundant resource
oil & agriculture caused population growth
ancient sunlight created fossil fuels
find harmony between people and nature
non-renewable energy sources must be the anchor of the system now
global disturbance
magnified human race inside ecology
more caution
human actions lead to chemical imbalance in atmosphere
approaching climate tipping point; the loss of control
environmental refugees
figure out how to change human ways
convergence of crises all of which are concern for life
every living system in biosphere is at a rate of decline, not stable or improving
planet is seamless
no “away” from pollution
asthma is a result of pollution
ocean crisis means that we’re taking too much out of it and putting too much in
nature does stuff for us for nothing
not a technologoy, carbon dioxide problem, waste, or warming problem; the problem is the way we are thinking,
this illness is fundamentally a cultural problem
when ecological disasters are covered they are depicted by the media as isolated incidents
culture tells us that we are the superior lifeform on earth
our minds like to think that we’re separate from nature
we are living in disharmony with planet
our attitudes are based on selfishness due to the economic situation and politics
problem initiated by the industrial revolution
oil has caused the need to sustain complexity and solve problems
oil has caused poisoned food leading to less and less of it, making it more unhealthy to swim in oceans
trees that are removed on edge of dry areas spreads desert
oil crisis externalities are asthma rates growing in US, acid rain by burning coal, global warming, epidemic of prostate and breast cancers, and part of costs of keeping troops to safeguard oil assets
causes suspects agents that promote health disorders: epidemic of prostate and breast cancers – exposure to chemicals could contribute to this growing list
global warming externalities are hurricanes, permafrost melting, 15 million environmental refugees, the arctic will be ice free towards end of decade…
problem is that people don’t make those linkage if we destroy forests on mountains the trees dont stop fluid and rains become irregular and the crops dont grow
fossil fuel cycle is the death based cycle of dependency on extraction of resources
in the modern globalized world growth is main focus of government but growth is leading towards destruction of the biosphere
government has range of solutions for putting in place a sustainable economy, but the planet institution that powers corporate feud trumps the majority
reponse goes to the higher power because it goes to fuel economy
it’s not crisis of technology or public opinion, it’s the bridge across the chasm of public opinion to public policy and government
the bridge is in disrepair
entropic issue is that the global economic system is a subsystem of economy and then a subsystem of the biosphere, the parent system - the parent system doesnt grow, it stays the same side
What are the forces that are blocking change?
Greatest weapon of mass destruction is corporate economic globalization
economists dont include what nature does for us
too much money in the political system
waste making system
commodities become cultural systems
we’re causing an extinction crisis right now
people now trying to mimic nature in production
not alot of TIME left
sun is the most bountiful substitute we have today
all people making change adds up to something meaningful
everyday as you buy something and you vote for what happens to it
