Environment Sep 25, 2015 by David Edberg Landeström

What is your vision for a sustainable world?

My vision is that we should all be able to use the resources on this world without risking the natures or other humans possibilities to exist on this world.

What are you planning to do to make this vision a reality?

I would want to see a historical perspective being taken in the environmental discussions.

As we have human rights I want there to be environmental rights. The nature we live in need to have it's rights taken into consideration. We can't look at nature as our own property. It has it's own needs.

And lastly we need a paradigm shift in how we look at society and economics. We can't have everything in the world. It's important to understand that our society right now is heading towards destruction of the world as we know it

I completely agree with what you have said. We should consider the environment more and there should be harsher environmental laws. I think you could've gone into a bit more detail about your plans but overall, I agree with what you have said.

YES! this is excellent! I also think that the key parameter in the discussion is the economic side of the problem. We may have to radically change the way we think about "extracting resources" and having "business as usual" in energy departments. If you already haven't seen this, I think you will find this talk interesting:
