As if creating a green society was just a question of money. Of course, money is needed for research and technology but in the end it's really a question of human choices in regards to our life style and habits that will make a difference.
Money is just a tool for exchanging goods and the concept of infinite growth in a world of limited resources is mathematically unsustainable, both economically and ecologically.
So, exactly who makes the human choice to invent, research and develop this technology? Which groups donate their time and materials to engage the process?
Initially I'd have guessed that it would be Green Peace or any of the myriad of the 'Save the Planet' crowd, but alas, all they do is bitch and demand that someone else do it.
So, that leaves us with the question: Where does the money come from?
But... but...money is God and God is infinite... so they tell us... I think...
You gotta get out a little more Cliffy. Maybe in your world does food magically appear in the cupboard and the electricity inexplicably spews forth from the sockets as if magical.
For the rest of the world, these things cost money.
Was it or was it not Wall Street that lost trilions and stuck you with the bill?
Egads! You're right!
Abolish the markets and outlaw corporations, why what the world needs are more hunter-gatherer societies to right these innumerable wrongs.
That said, will you, or will you not be the first to strike a blow at the heart of Wall Street and stop supporting the big bad financial machine by not buying anything and contributing to the evilness?
