About me
Business intelligence analyst, taxonomies expert, woodland owner, cyclist.
Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks is the first vital step towards the collaborative creation of a new level of metaknowledge enabling people to better understand the big picture. The next step is to use multifaceted taxonomies as the intellectual tools for collecting and organising the evidence on which metaknowledge is based.

Is a Big Hunk of Steak Worth Almost 2,000 Gallons of Water?
JICWyllie
by JICWyllie  7-2-2008    1
 It takes a lot of oil and electricity to pump that water around and that is becoming much more expensive, while clean water is becoming scarce.

Sweden turning sewage into a gasoline substitute

 Sounds like municipalities could at least run bus networks working with their sewage works. Solves two problems at once ... as well as helping to keep the water clean.

An epidemic of extinctions: Decimation of life on earth
JICWyllie
by JICWyllie  5-17-2008   
 Oil + economic growth = over-population + record extinctions. Humans will make themselves extinct, too, as life support systems are destroyed.

Shell's Shale Plans...? (or Why I Am an Oil Shale Skeptic)
JICWyllie
by JICWyllie  5-13-2008    1
 It's the same issue in the Alberta tar sands -- turning pure water to toxic water on a massive scale. The difference is that in Canada, it is already happening with the help of government tax breaks.

 Either people will "turn on a dime", or they will rush headlong into the abyss like the Gaderine swine. All people have to do is change their mind about what is important.

 The change required is much simpler, and costs no money. Just go on a spending strike and a travel strike. When money is short, its the time to stop spending (and borrowing), outside absolute necessities. Spend quality time on family and neighbors. Till some earth near you. Make it more fertile. Engage with nature.

 Can people learn to "turn on a dime"? Or will humanity continue to plunge headlong into the abyss like the Gaderine swine? Those who turn fastest, decoupling themselves from the growth / money economy, for example, by NOT consuming, doing with as little as possible, taking as little as possible, and giving back (to the earth) as much as possible. All people have to do is change their minds about what is important.

by JICWyllie  5-7-2008   
 From a selfish (human-centred) point of view, here's another reason why food prices will continue to rise at an accelerating rate. From the point of view of the bees, it must be even worse.

 What people think does not matter. They will be forced to comply to a low carbon lifestyle because they will not be able to afford to do anything else. The economy will be the irresistible enforcer.
