It is easy to avoid facing this type of factual information, but, frightful as it may be, it seems that we may have to face it sooner or later, particularly if things persist with the world as we now know it... . These are things to think about for sure.
Sincerely, there is a lot of stuff that still is completely dependent on petrolific industry that not even is mentioned. Cities that size without any nature and vegetation are anything but sustainable.
you know what? I'm actually not that pessimistic. I'm sure I'll be fine. my problem is with the really poor who won't be. I am tormented by how much we consume and do not do much to avoid it. I guess, my statement of "you'll be dead if we don't" was more my hope that we will change. my apologies.
I believe this could be a reality in less then 20 years and that could be the only sustainable way to improve our quality of life. In that "sustainable open future", information technology will drive the change
I agree with that. There is a happy middle ground between too small and too large I think. Fukuoka is a good sized city I think - they have public transportation, a full range of shopping options, etc., and it's not overly large, so people don't waste too much time just going from one side of the city to the other. All of that said, even though I complain about the mega-city aspects of Tokyo, I also am fascinated by the city, and I haven't moved, so.... - LHS
