  • Joe Rogan brought me here

  • I challenge the notion to replace the causes of the pollution or ineffective processes rather than build new ones next to them..

    thats what I would be helping with but hard without funding.

  • Pipe dreams. See "Chinas Grand Plans for Eco-Cities Now Lie Abandoned" on the Yale website

  • All great concepts but what about the embedded energy to construct the roads, buildings, infrastructure? What fuels to power transit? What of the city vehicles, electrical lines, power plants - what about all that?  Looks great on paper but where are the details?

  • isn't it worth a try? can more be lost?

  • Of course it can be done, this is how we were meant to live!

  • a great idea on paper... but it's going to be an uphill struggle to effectively implement it and to have the locals successfully sustain it.

  • I agree to that, lemdixon01.

  • Amazing. It's hard to believe it can be done.
