2016.11.21 - The Limits to Growth

I start by saying that I recognize the hypocrisy and the irony in this post.

Jørgen Randers (Norwegian), together with Dennis Meadows (American) and Donella Meadows (American) wrote in 1972 “The Limits to Growth” (ever heard about the “Club of Rome”?).
Since then the book was revised twice, the latest (published) in 2004.


If you don’t like reading, I suggest a crash-course on Youtube: National Geographic’s “Before the Flood”.

Don’t think I’m an anti-development, anti-whatever hippie: I’m not! I love the good life and all its luxuries.
If you are concerned with your environmental footprint and the future of mankind (your children, grandchildren and so forth…) you need to do something (recycle, reuse and reduce).
I would love to show the Great Barrier Reef to my son one day…
