- 2. A Few Critical Questions A few indicators that show that some things continue to go wrong: The rate of losing species has not slowed, Face-less agents make and execute decisions that influence critically social and ecological systems on the other side of the world Developing countries' industrialisation is a potential ecological bomb Creation of technological "haves" and "have-nots" (digital divide) How does the economic system affect the larger system in which it resides, namely society and nature ? Does the " new economy " mainly accelerate and extend the industrial logic of harvesting natural and social capital in order to create financial and social capital? Source: Peter M.

One strategy to address these figures is to use less energy, improving our household insulation and recycling. Another complimentary strategy is that of micro power generation, whereby each household sustainably generates their portion, or all, of their own electric and power supply to provide heat or light, and ideally, generates a surplus which they can sell back to the national power suppliers. There are a number of ways in which households can achieve this: Solar panels Wind turbines Geothermal energy Bio dung …

'Cradle to Cradle' Product Design It is the antidote to the 'Cradle to Grave' paradigm Its purpose is to restore continuous cycles of biological as well as technical nutrients with long terms positive effects on profitability, the environment and human health.
