-Easter Island chapter
-information from class
-film clips
-students' perspectives
-lecture
-online research.
It’s not the end of the world…(not yet at least). I don’t view the United States passing the oil peak as such a bad collapse. Collapse in America might not be such a bad thing right now. Global warming is approaching so rapidly, that maybe having a global oil collapse is just what the doctor ordered. The transformation back to walking and riding bikes might be horrifying to some but I see it as a positive thing for saving the world.
-The Olduvai theory (Im a big believer, i think we will be the best cavemen ever!)
-Save the world (no more air pollution)
-Give people jobs (since the oil is still in the ground and America is so addicted to there oil, they might rely on the energy of people to get it out instead of the oil that is used to get it out.)
-Lower the economic prices (the cost of cars will become close to nothing that we might just pull our selves out of this recession)
-We might suffer worst than Easter island (“there trees are our oil”, we are using up both our trees and our oil)
-Nothing will be made up of oil anymore but made up of energy (energy from humans)
-Collapse will stop “horrible capitalism” from growing (more socialist economy) |
