Earthships taking up large 'land area footprings' to accommodate a small number of people vs 'passive' homes taking up small 'land area footprints' to acommodate a large number of people. The only effective method is to have a reduced population - and whilst this could be done in a relatively 'humane' way over the next 100 years it can't be done without social cost and fall out. China tried - and ultimately 'failed' due to social fall out. We currently have a 'pandemic' which would probably achieve a similar result if 'managed' - however again everyone is being classed as 'equal' for protection and everything is being thrown at it to prevent it's progress. (Not necessarily my personal view, just a perspective) Man living in 'small, self-sustainable communities' - sounds ideal and ultruistic, but it doesn't survive because as part of the human animal we crave adventure, social interaction from 'elsewhere' and ultimately we always want 'more' than what we can get 'locally'. brouser3 - 2021-09-16 08:31:00 |
