Worldchanging.com founder Alex Steffen argues that reducing humanity's ecological footprint is especially vital now, as the western consumer lifestyle spreads to developing countries.
Talk by Alex Steffen.
Yes, so we're talking about creating denser areas so we can do away with some of our materialistic consumerism and instead use services, and we can do away with our cars. But when we're talking about sustainability, how can a planet be sustainable if our food sources are not sustainable? He didn't talk about this point at all. Yes, we can make some changes to our lifestyle (this is inevitable as our world population increases) to decrease carbon emissions, but that's just one point.
Great talk. It's important to think about the future and what alternatives we may have to create or come about starting now. Interesting concepts at the end, thank you for the video!
This was really great! Made me feel optimistic for the future.
Now lets hope to see people follow through with this!
After watching the video, can you tell me the essential message of the video? What was it about? *
I'm an architecture student working on a project to design a building with zero admissions. When I was first briefed on the project it sounded impossible, but after actually researching sustainable strategies and developing and designing around them I found that it's actually really simple, if not intuitive, to do. There really is no reason why governments mandating net zero buildings isn't happening.
This idea excites me!
This gave me hope in the future :)
with all this heating with the sun , its -16C where i live today can the sun really keep my house 40 degrees wamer then it is outside?
I love the new design. Much smoother animation effects inside it, although the start page is kinda bad.
That stealing the future thing reminded me of an anime called c:the money and soul of possibility.
If we... do stuff like greening the electric drill, then, we need to take care of the negative impact, the loss of basic skills, some of which are necessary during disaster scenarios. Whenever I see a disaster in a city, I am concerned that this plays out at some level in the developed world, and that, also, peoples lives could easily be lost and, especially, clean up run unnecessarily slowly and the reliant people disconnected from the reality of the work the workers are doing (restive).
Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. People sometimes like to engage in full-on debate mode in their comments.
My first thought when I see a "I hate the new layout" comment, is that every single mainstream site that has ever changed their layout EVER, has been universally condemned by their users for a few weeks, until they get used to it. The previous layout was new about a year ago, and comment sections were inundated with "I FUCKING HATE THE NEW LAYOUT"... Then people got used to it.
@ 7:11 the mafia guy has a corded drill.
That's not "The Green Way To Go"........
very smart
I neither expected nor anticipated this.
Utopian dreams become real starting with information providing.
give it a few days?
not sure if sarcasm the reason why he says we should all die
A sustainable city doesn't depend on the importation of resources. I wonder why he didn't mention that? It's the most important aspect of a sustainable future.

Adam Savage has a brother who does TED talks...Who knew
I must say I disagree with the "High Density" idea. I've seen some of the planes for these cities and find them to be a place I don't want to live in. You lose individuality, all the apartments are the same, and it's all too regulated.
I hadn't noticed that! If they keep going like this, Google is going to be synonymous with fuckup. Here's an idea, Instead of letting the employees who just want to get paid and don't give a shit what the site looks like call the shots, why not allow the users, the people who actually USE TH-cam, to vote on what the best layout is? After all, we're the one's who use the site.
Of course they won't disappear. We still have the need of transportation across long distances. However there is a lot of room to reduce the amount of roads.
This is what i expected
2:50 well i live in hongkong
It'll probably reach the point where very few people will own cars and they'll just rent them when they go on long trips.
It's not about age, the new layout looks worse. I like good change not bad change. I wish google could at least learn how to make small changes
heat with sunlight... ? i live in ireland, there's no such thing as sunlight
Yeah, I hear ya loud and clear. I hated the old layout too then I go used to it, but then again, not much else I can do. If the changes they made were an improvement, I would say so, But first impressions don't lie. As far as the functionality, it's not very intuitive and I've found several bugs. I know they test before rollout, but gimme a fucking break. And aesthetically speaking, it's obvious that a bunch of geeks work there. Not that there is anything wrong with geeks, but they can't dress
Yeah, you're right. I sometimes forget about the evil google monster
All these things happen naturally. All he's saying is we need to continue the development of our cities, which happens by virtue of convenience demand. But don't be fooled. Roads and highways aren't going to disappear.
I like it. You're getting old if you don't like change.
This is not what i expected
watch: Zeitgeist moving forward.
lol in 2 months youll be used to it and wont care, just like every other update haha. Remember the last time it changed everyone complained, and now people want it to be changed back to that same layout that was hated.
We wouldn't be here today if it weren't for CO2. Ever heard of the greenhouse effect?

Thorium nuclear power plants....
Didn’t he steal the chipmunks?
walter white? anyone?

I don't like it...My feed is messed up, and I must fix it so I only get new content, not people commenting on old comments, or recommendations of videos which I have already seen.
great idea, but i dont think it is realistic. People still want/need cars. If this is possible, its a way off :/
The developed world could transition to nuclear and solar only. One of the biggest wastes is communal and state controlled resources.
Making cities ridiculously large and dense would solve nothing. It only leads to poor livability and lower birth rates. Humanity should privatize and increase trade as much as possible and hope that better atmosphere will lead to better competition and inventions to solve our problems. Wanting to voluntarily stunt innovation and population growth is an idiotic way to live. If humans can only innovate and grow so much and then our planet dies out, who cares? It's better to strive for something really great with a possibility of failing than live mediocrely for slightly longer
Calm down buddy, I wasn't speaking on behalf of the entire planet. A comment implies an opinion, I thought that was common knowledge
You're also getting old if you think your subjective opinion is somehow a legitimate basis for your claim. Not everybody thinks it looks worse.
or perhaps people got tired of trying to get back what they still may want. not used to it, but more of a submissive 'fine i guess i have to let youtube do what they want because it isn't like i have a say in anything that they do'
you're on the wrong channel if you still think that....
Such a shitty ending. It should have been a two cour anime.

Don't be so optimistic
