The Issues

Let's be clear about the nature of the physical challenges we face.

• The Earth:
• Global Climate Change
• Pollution
• Lack of fresh water
• The Biosphere:
• Loss of biodiversity
• Mass extinction
• Species migration
• Antibiotic resistance
• Loss of topsoil
• The Human Race
• Overpopulation and the effect of so many people on the planet
• Unrestricted growth
• Pandemics, currently the Covid-19 Pandemic 

There is a short (under 20 minutes) video by Economics Explained which summarizes many of these issues: MIT Has Predicted that Society Will Collapse in 2040.

The Solutions

These proposals to address the physical world problems are (to a first approximation anyway) all necessary. We can't just pick one and think we have 'done our bit' - we have to do all of them, or the world as we know it does not survive.

• Energy
• Farming (and growing things, generally)
• Water
• Finance
• Manufacturing
• What is manufactured
• Where it is manufactured
• Plastics
• Poisonous chemicals
• Transport
