Imagine if we did this with climate change. Imagine if we tried to switch to renewable energy en masse 20 years ago.
Problem with that is that in comparison the alternative to CFC was not that more expensive and then a cheaper one was invented shortly after.
For climate change you basically can double our energy costs and therefore double the cost of almost everything.
Not to seem callous, but the first world could learn to live off of a little less.
Honestly this is what I keep saying and everyone gets pissed when I do.
There's enough resources on this planet that every living human could live a decently luxurious life. But because we allow a small handful of us to hoard all those resources we have poverty on a global scale.
Whoa there buddy. That would put my butler's butler out of a job. Also where does a person park their yacht if not inside another, larger yacht?
It wouldn't even be less. We'd just have to reign in the capitalist feeding frenzy a bit.
2000 brands of shoes? Advertising? 99% of our production is wasted.
