Week 7

We are running out of everything now it seems I have been listening to our professors really engrain in our minds the amount of mistakes and overlooking is going on. Our population is still growing and we have not given it a second thought. Well, China has given it a thought but they are a bit inhumane in their solution. Our peak oil term has come and gone still with no change. It is only a matter of time before we are subject to running out of food and water.

It comes down to the question of where we will find another planet. We seem pretty confident in our exploration of Mars and the Moon that we will just be able to colonize like the British. This lesson was confusing to me because I am so used to the fact that everything seems to reproduce. We are reproducing food we are reproducing energy we are reproducing people. We seem to be in good shape but it is this attitude that has us falling short as a global community.

Other countries like Nigeria know what they have and it is marketable and that is why it thrives. There is this idea that was brough up in class that "oil touches everything". This rings true with almost every product that is around us has been transported to us by way of fossil fuel. We have lost the value of craftsmanship and the skill that comes with it.
