00:00Look at the per capita consumption of an American, you require six Earths if the
00:07entire population of the planet reaches that level of per capita consumption.
00:12The whole population of the earth taken as a whole, we are already consuming on a
00:17per capita basis 70% more than what the earth can afford. For Americans the
00:26ratio would be 5 to 6, for the planet as a whole it is 1.7. How will you make
00:31it
00:31sustainable? Please tell me. Instead everybody on the planet wants to consume
00:38like an American. If you want sustainability you must first of all
00:42censor the sellers of ignorance, the sellers of dreams because only dreams
00:50can be sold and nobody will buy dreams if there is no ignorance.
00:55Therefore those who have a stake in selling will have stake in selling you
01:00dreams and to sell you dreams. First of all they have to sell you ignorance. It is
01:06that ignorance that is at the center of all climate catastrophe, all environmental
01:13destruction. We need education and we need to stop those who de-educate us, the
01:21sellers of ignorance. That's the only thing I repeat that can save this planet.
