Circular economy achieved through Cradle to Cradle Certified products made with safe and healthy chemicals and designed for disassembly...all powered by renewably powered electricity...is a game changer that needs rapid escalation throughout our global economy.
1 FabricNano
2 Empire Building Challenge
3 Making electricity from human-powered steps
4 Grow wood in a lab
5 Making affordable fashion sustainable
6 NCAVES, environmental and ecosystem accounting
7 InVest has created a set of modelling tools
8 Costa Rica reversed deforestation
Before we waste our time and energy let's go through this quick checklist -
Is it solving the right problem?
Is it scientifically viable? Does it obey the known laws of physics?
Is it technologically viable? Is there a demonstration project working today?
Is it scalable? Are there resources available for everybody in the world to do this?
Is it resources viable? Is there a sustainable supply of minerals available?
Is it land a viable? Is there enough space available without taking away from a forest or agricultural land?
Is it politically viable? Can it be made acceptable to the general population?

Thanks
Thanks very much for your short summary of video, you have my absolute respect ⚡
Impressive overview of sustainable initiatives across sectors! The focus on ethical environmental accounting and conservation efforts highlights the comprehensive strategies needed to achieve a sustainable economy.
Informative and much needed..
Nice video!🙌🏼
Ecosia 👍🌱🌳
Sustainability is very important especially now more than ever.
I for one am doing anything even in the smallest ways for the better of this world and our environment.
Me too. I capture cow flatulence so it does not harm the environment but I can still eat as much steak as I want.
That is awesome! Thank you! I do the same as I believe that every little action helps and that a better world starts with ourselves.
It was a splendid presentation and an inspiring way of looking into sustainable solutions! Thank you for the well-structured work.
All that water in California could be put to good use as any other stormwater.
Canals coast to coast. Biofuel farms, fish farms, shrimp farms, shellfish farms, hydroponic farms, fruit tree farms, and nuts, wineries, hemp farms for textiles and bioplastics, animal husbandry, Drainage, reservoirs, canals, pumps, water reclamation, energy storage with dams, mechanical and electric wind turbines to pump water, recreation, distribution of water coast to coast, freight distribution, water distribution with the canals. You have nothing without water 💦. That's a lot of jobs and an unimaginable amount of work and labor. Every ancient civilization built its economy and huge cities around rivers and irrigation.
Who did I piss off? The Railroads, oil industry, republicans? We are going to need 10's of millions of immigrants and climate change refugees to build all that and all going to need jobs.
Couldn't make it past #3 it clearly shows no one with any knowledge in carbon emissions ever verified any of those ideas.
Energy harvesting has its place, but in some specific niche applications. The amount of energy you could pull from those floor panels would never exceed energy required to manufacture them in a first place!
Agree, these are mostly interesting ideas that are highly unlikely to have much of an impact
"Partner Content" it's actually an advert for select Lombard Odier investments
Exactly. Another example of the shortfall of engineers in solutions. They only address a handful of dimensions with huge embodied carbon associated with upscale and distribution of upscale. Honestly, let's train them to environmentally engineer social solutions !
Hey mate, I loved your comment. Are you into Carbon. If you are i would love to connect. Cheers
this video is such a meme, none of these other than maybe the refitting of old sky scrapers will have an impact
Because it's an advert for Lombard Odier investments, see "Partner Content" and the investment warning in the intro. I'm extremely disappointed with the FT for this. I also didn't realise I was watching an advert, until I rewatched because the ideas seemed so stupid
We can truly embrace sustainability by cutting down on mass consumption, avoiding the constant upgrade to new smartphones every two years, choosing locally sourced fruits over those shipped thousands of kilometers on container ships, and refraining from frequent air travel.
This is incredible
Great ideas i didnt even know eg growing wood in a lab. Just heard blood can also be grown in a lab. Why not grow cotton as well? And oh, nice graphics. Who made them?
Hope springs eternal. One day that spring is going to dry up.
Great Video shame that it has such low views.
great ideas!!

superb video... I will share this with my students
Please don't share this with your students. It's an advert for some companies that presumably Lombard Odier Asset Management have invested in. See "Partner Content" and the warning about investment advice in the intro
Still a lot of air in it. Not something the world isn't already doing, or shouldn't do.
I like your video keep it up
Hey we love this video! I hope you don't mind that I repost this and tag you :)
I'm taken by this. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and I was truly taken by it. "Mastering Money Mindfulness" by Benjamin Hawk
Most mass implementation were delayed because of supply disruption, russia ukraine war, and coming recessioms
1:10 - I STARTED DOING THIS IN 2020 😎
provide the contacts / web addresses so that we can ACT on this info
💖
😮😊😊
I'm sorry but #3 sounds like a black mirror episode - walking to produce energy 😂
...not that I'm against the concept.
whats is the name of the brand or company who is
Making affordable fashion sustainable
lagaam
Any of you all not buying WKHS stock don’t care anything about our planet. EVs are the future!
R.I.P Capitalism 😢
Pipe dreams.
Seems to be more theoretical
Leave nature alone get humans away from everything that is being destroyed now would help
