8. We exceed our ecological footprint: In 2001, the South West residents' ecological footprint was 27.4 million gha (global hectares) or 5.56 gha per person. The earth-share is 1.9 gha per person. How we use and share the one planet we have. ecological footprint

12. “ Warming of more than 1 0 C above today’s level will make the Earth warmer than it has been in a million years”. Dr. James Hansen, NASA GISS

13. “ Business-as-usual, with fossil fuel CO 2 emissions continuing to increase will mean an additional warming of 2 0 C to 3 0 C this century and will make the Earth a different planet.” Dr. James Hansen, NASA GISS

14. “ At 2 0 C to 3 0 C the new equililibrium sea level is approximately 25 meters (80 feet) higher than today. Real world data suggest sea level changes in centuries rather than milenia.” Dr. James Hansen, NASA GISS

15. “ Action must be prompt, otherwise CO2- producing infrastructure will be built within a decade that will make it impractical to keep further warming under 1 0 C ”. Dr. James Hansen, NASA GISS

16. built environment impact 70% world population live in cities Cities require 70% global energy Cities responsible for 80% ecological footprint, and some 45% carbon footprint 70% buildings in 2050 are already built or in construction

27. Thanks to a great crash programme in 2010 , a point of self reliance in energy is achieved through a 50% reduction in energy consumption and a massive scaling up of renewables to provide the remaining 50% Rob Hopkins, Transition Handbook

29. Education in 2008 was woefully adequate, given the scale of tranistion to come. A new ciricumulm was approved in 2012 firmly based on foundations of sustainability and resilience building By 2018 universities were no longer to attract from wide geographical areas, following a rethink, they are now incubator centers for local business and skills Rob Hopkins, Transition Handbook

30. Beyond Zero Energy for ‘free’? Data centers could heat 70,000 homes The energy we waste using bottled water would be enough to power 190,000 homes. Passiv Haus Cement waste
