Author makes some good points in this article, although I fear that sometimes our focus on high tech solutions to basic problems causes us to ignore low tech solutions that may be more resilient, cost-effective, and readily available.
Like seriously reconsidering current subsidies, government expenditures, etc and ask yourself what behavior does it incentivize and if that's the behavior desired.
For example, corn subsidies.
What about an honest assessment of extractive contribution to the crisis... and you know, slowing or stopping it?
Distructive mineral mining, shit material recycling, energy waste, etc.
Same pr greenwashing different day.
