Scary or realistic ?? He really makes it so simple, no sugar coating, no beating around the bush.
I was always pro-sustainability and this video boosted me towards acting FAST and acting NOW.
A lot of skeptics argue that sustainability is just a fad and that eco-friendly has become a selling point. There is really no need for any change in our current ways because there is no way to accurately predict whether sustainable development will actually benefit us in the future. Why should we give up our comfort now, just to have the possibility of a comfortable future for our next generations? We will face the crisis when it comes, IF it comes.
But what is the harm if we act now ? Prevention is always better than cure. What do we really lose by acting now ? Does sustainable architecture really harm anybody ? Do green buildings really look so ugly that we just cannot build them even knowing the benefits they bring with them. NO
In a nutshell...
The only downside to sustainable development is economical crisis, upside will be saving the human race, the earth and the ecosystem.
While not acting and continuing in our selfish ways we risk plummeting into economical, political, social and environmental crisis.
Really not a Sophie's choice....
