Time for a change

Posted

Unfortunately, in one sense, our sustainability section, outlining the steps necessary to reduce carbon in the atmosphere, was extremely timely as Los Angeles, CA was besieged with wildfires. 

It's shades of things to come as the earth's atmosphere reacts to the carbons and pollutants we, as a globe, are pumping into its airspace.

So it's a fair question.  If the economy takes more resources than can be replenished, isn't it time to rethink how that economy would be redesigned?

The proof's in the pudding. Los Angeles is burning still.
