'Greedy Generation'

Iconic, eye-catching architecture, used on the rear face of the Holburn museum, Bath (www.holburne.org).

It is human nature, to always desire improvement.

One cannot build improvements using a resource that does not exist.

Therefore sources must be strictly protected, and resources used sustainably, with care. For we must keep what we have, ensuring we build from a solid baseline.

Humanity must be led by democratically elected politicians who recognise these basic facts. Abuse power and you will suffer! Do you want a good legacy?

• We all want to improve things. Everything. 
• Bigger is not always better.
• Things may improve through growth, but growth cannot be infinite. 
• What is important is the recognition of the growth-process, not what is attained by it. With such ‘recognition’ we can learn and use such knowledge elsewhere. 
• Those who are fixated by achievements and what we attain, become obsessed. Obsession is dangerous. 
• Throughout the entire world there are unfortunately, so many examples which actually involve zero recognition of the growth process, nothing has been learnt, and nothing can be recognised. 
• Such things may be desirable now, but tomorrow? Tomorrow we will look back on these things as a waste of resources which we will need so badly elsewhere. 
• Whether we like it or not, humans consume. Only consumption of sustainable resources can continue to exist. It alarms me how many fail to understand this!
• Anyone who actually chooses to consume unsustainably should be considered greedy. There is nothing worse than greed. I cannot bear the thought of future generations looking back on us, and in disdain, calling us ‘greedy’!   
• The ‘Greedy Generation which failed the Earth’. 
• …

We have the knowledge. WE MUST ACT RESPONSIBLY!!

Pela cases

I am on course to be completing my purchase of a mobile phone, this Friday.

You should know that I try and shop ‘ethically’, wanting to reduce the size of my ‘footprint’ on our planet’s resources. Phone contracts mean the large companies have us hooked to their custom. I am in a scheme which allows me to sell my old phone back as I purchase a new device. Parts of the old phone live on in different forms/uses. 

Everyone protects their phone in a case. Cases are almost as fashionable as the phone themselves. They can be just one piece of one material, and hopefully, as eco-friendly as possible, not a colourful, non-biodegradable, polymer composite.
