Notes de l'éditeur
- Firstly, thank you to Transition Towns for inviting me to come and talk and a special thank you to Liz Muirhead for arranging this whole thing.
- Human extinction probability
- So that’s the context, let’s get into what it all means…
- That’s not to say we shouldn’t close it, it just means we need to know and solve the ‘knock-on’ effects of it. So that’s the concept of sustainable thinking (a very basic example), so what about the precautionary principle…
- And all the impacts associated with each of these – invasive species moving – termites etc
- Example of China’s rice yield – Yangtze River levels reducing – used to flood fields Water usage per person (population issue) and the degradation of fresh water Knock on effect on nuclear power production (heat wave in Europe – nuclear power at 60% capacity due to lack of water for cooling) It’s often easier to just use to funnel metaphor…
- Resources that we use per person Example of Water Humans currently use the resources of 1.25 Earths So assuming we don’t go on a mass cull, we need to reduce the amount of resources we use per person. A much easier way of looking at it is the funnel metaphor…
- I won’t go into any more detail here, but there’s a great resource if you want to get it…
- Applies to all organisations, no matter what area
- And then there’s the avoided costs…
- Minimum requirement – being as bad as the law will allow you to be. And then the cost savings…
- So what are the broad areas covered?...

- A rather bold statement I know, but I’ll explain it…
- So let’s have a quick look at the psychology behind the term…
- The basic psychology The environmental preacher! We always go with the easiest thing to change – our beliefs - Give example of a guy with the V8
