We're building a world of waste. The Bantar Gebang landfill outside of Jakarta alone stretches across 200 football fields. It's time to move beyond linear systems to ones that are truly circular in nature: buff.ly/3m953T1 #Useless #wasteless #buyless #gocircular
@MikeHudema Imagine landfills of wind turbines!!!!
That non-linear approach would be the distributed systems advocated by Adam Smith (open markets), by Democracy along with Science (peer review) and Design/Art. Only one of those is operating at anywhere near its potential. Fix democracy first: demvision.wordpress.com
@MikeHudema We does not mean people in Indonesia. The technology to properly dispose waste exists. Now if certain countries and society choose to still like in filth then it’s their choice. Enough of guilt tripping the collective WE based on actions of few or unrelated actors.
@MikeHudema So we can't have plastic straws because Indonesia doesn't value its waste?
@MikeHudema Isn’t this system circular in nature? Create landfill, cap it off, 100 years later build houses on top. Future generations may mind these areas for resources . Your focus is much too short term .
Do you have any idea how much e-waste we're generating with green energy fantasies? These companies are going to get all business and they're going to leave e trash strewn across the mountains passes valleys in our rivers and streams all little bits of solar panels and windmills killing all the fishes
@MikeHudema Today's modern landfills (maybe not this one in Jakarta) are highly regulated and strictly managed waste systems that are providing more economic and environmental return value in GHG reductions, lowering Carbon Footprint and providing renewable energy than any other option.
@MikeHudema When they said God can move mountains…not sure they had this in mind!
