These are great suggestions that will, unfortunately, almost certainly never be put into action, considering just how far down the wrong path our civilization has gone. As of last year, humans are using more resources than the Earth can replenish and the planet's distribution of resources among its terrestrial inhabitants is massively unequal. This is what happened to Rome and the Mayans, according to the report.

Im no history buff so i have no idea what caused the fall of acnient civilizations, but if it was infact driven by resource limitations which were ignored by the government ruling bodies, then i would think its something that should be taken a little more seriously.

Ive always said we cannot have economic growth forever, and asked the question, when do we switch to economic maintenance?
