thanks

i live in a small country called denmark, we still consume too much – but have a look at our power production, on the danish grid windmills are taking over – one night a few months ago, the windmills accounted for 80% of the national power supply.

when we can go to the moon, why shouldn’t we be capable of scaling down and rethinking overconsumtion of natural resources?

and then to mr. lessig – thank you for taking this serious and contributing – you are one of the shakers and movers towards a rational rethink of resources and ownership, my guess is that your work will in fact affect the way we think about nature – keeping the ‘commons’ concept alive is of major importance to the way we percieve natural resources vis-a-vis the 100% private ownership models, that give incentives to exploitation rather than sustainable use.

from the ted conferences i heard that al gore is at least trying to get a creative commons for some of the work in the film, and i look forward to translate and use of the material to promote the need for action.

OK…I’ll bite.

The cost of relocating the hundreds of millions of people living along coastlines around the world. Or the cost of fighting a losing battle to keep the oceans at bay. Or the mass migrations that will be required by severe climate disruption. Or the wars that will inevitably result (most wars iun human histroy are the result of a disagreement over resources)….

But hey, maybe growing bananas in Alaska will make all that worth it.

I prefer to caution on the safe side. If everyone does something to help, if nothing else, the planet we live on might be a little cleaner to the ones left behind after we are gone.
