RE: Book Review: 2040 [Hoping for a Better Future]

in #ecotrain5 years ago

This really seems like an awesome book! You are so right! We need positivity and solutions instead of talking about the problems we face. It totally fits what i am going through! I am dealing with transport, emissions, manufacturing and supply chains daily and consumer goods that have a linear life cycle. Most commodities often go from Extraction to waste. In the mornings i plan containers to make console boxes or fail at wasted transit space that could at least be more emission effektive economically. In the industry where one should be most aware, people only started caring after much noise was made about climate change. It seems that people are waking up and having a reusable take away cups give you a discount for your coffee here of up to a dollar. One economist, namely raj patel once calculated the true cost of goods according to fair wages and the cost it has for our environment. Since about 2011 i carry a water bottle with me everywhere i go. I guess it also makes one aware that there is a trend happening when almost everyone with common sense around you starts doing that. I totally share your hope. I also often have a few bamboo straws in my back bag just in case someone wants to feed me some PVC. I also recommend a stainless steel water bottle as an ultimate weapon of self defense btw. ( i mean water bottle of course) I used to have to leave it outside the club, but now they let me enter with it anyways. Not that anyone would ever need that in a peaceful future. 'Speak peace to the water, drink it and become it ' I gotta read 2040! These recipes actually make me more curious. Thanks for the share.
