Borsip, may have seen previous posts, can't recall, but recognize the username.

Come to the proverbial "table" with something other than a link to an article written by a business professor. The issue up for discussion is not one BUSINESS professional's "Chritonesque" critique on the state of the World's environment. Rather, what is at stake is the VIABILITY of the current economic system, which, of course, isn't at all ECONOMICAL.

People please. THINK. Bill Clinton, two-term president who followed George Walker Herbert Bush, was succeeded buy one George W. Bush and now Hillary is in line. So, how DEMOCRATIC is our current system, lol.

Borsip, that was a LAME post, linking to some "Julian Simon" who undoubtedly is as dominated as the rest of us. None of us have the time or inclination to read the ridiculous propaganda you would have us read. Be a Man. Say something like a MAN.

To clarify, since intrinsic to the current economic paradigm is the necessity of obsolescence (things must break down in order to continue with cyclical consumption), a "green" economy is not a VIABLE solution to current environmental woes. This is because, even though "green," it still operates within the current framework of "market capitalism" which has more to do with waste and degradation than it does "economy."

And so, the world is very much in a state of COLLAPSE. Our economic system serves to ravage the planet in such a way that its resources are controlled by a powerful elite. The controllers of these finite resources are lustily focused on wealth accumulation and not on product sustainability. The former, unnecessary, the latter indispensable.


Here, I would recommend this article: Julian Simon, the Doomslayer

The notion that a "green" market economy is someone good
for the environment given the demands placed upon it by
market capitalism is not possible. In essence, "green" market
economics is much ado about nothing.

Yipee! Another useless listicle!! Surprising (and, disappointing) to see Forbes reporting on a NerdWallet posting.

America's Greenest Cities

FORBES -  4/15/2015 @ 12:09PM

Big cities have long been associated with the smokestacks and exhaust fumes, but many metros enable a more earth-friendly lifestyle than one might expect, according to data released this week by personal finance site NerdWallet.

Jersey City, New York’s neighbor across the Hudson River, closes out the top ten. Despite sub par air quality, Jersey City claims the second highest number of commuters who travel to work by public transit–46%–bested only by New York.
