I asked in an earlier post which disaster was under discussion here, because
there are a few possibilities.

1. Global warming-which is happening now.

2. Nuclear winter which could happen if the wrong people press the button,
or terrorists somehow- hopefully not for many years.

3. Fossil fuels used up. Oil production is expected to peak in about 10
years, which will bring prices up. No big deal, but what is next?
In 250 years humans will use up all the fossil fuels that took 5 billion
years to create. I don't remember god telling us we could do that?

4. Overpopulation and diminishing food supply- But hopefully this can be
managed somehow.

So is this all loony? Maybe, but it is all real and we hope that "THEY"
whoever they are, will solve these problems. I am 43 so I think I will make
it off the planet in time, but what about the little tikes of today and
tomorrow?

Overall, a sustainable way of life sounds better to me than trying to solve
these problems with technology.


Right on!

The abuse and over-indulgence in technology is a big part of what's CAUSING
our problems...

More isn't going to do anything but make it worse.

Does create jobs and profits for pension funds, though...

Recycling is a perfect example of the folly of most technological 'solutions'.

It actually does more harm to the environment than throwing things in a

landfill and making new stuff.

That's why recycled paper costs more than regular paper, even with subsidies.
