Ecology topic

John Oliver made a nice video with the little help of Bill Nye about ecology, on what needs to be done, explaining Green New Deal which all gives sort of an uplifting (if not exciting) feeling that we are perhaps entering a new era of transforming the society despite the obstacles of corrupt politicians.
And there's also new documentary by David Attenborough

So, this New Green Deal is a fascist/socialist plot to make 102" TV illegal and take our guns?

Worse than that...it will make it OK to kneel during your national Magic Song.

Under what conditions does the hemp plastic degrade? Does it go to some form of digester? Otherwise shelf life is an issue.

Yeah I guess it's not an easy solution with hemp, but what about this solution in UK: Green Industrial Revolution - solar panels for 1.75 million homes.

I'm pessimistic. We won't change until after it's too late and it will take several generations to correct it.

You know what would be rotten? We get the environment straightened out (clean the oceans and atmosphere, get shut of IC engines, solved the power issues, etc) ...and then a big honking asteroid hits us dead centre.
