These are the terms and concepts of the future. I use to joke that one day we would mine our dumps for raw materials. Now I know it is inevitable. I'm not sure it will be as easy as Mr. Holmgren suggests. It is hard to for people and especially americans to change their ways of overconsumtion. It's akin to asking a person from a wealthy family to go live on a farm and work like a slave. We lived in the greatest time the world has ever known. We know very little about actual work and now we must truly realise that the party is over. Now we must clean up after this party of excessive exuberance, and learn that such partying is very distructive to our environment, souls and fellow humans and other earthly life. Will we learn to share in time. Probably not but the long term solutions require this lesson. Listen, change or suffer the consequences. The choice is there for us all.
