Sustainability - How Our Future Belongs in the Stars

This talk will be highly provocative but based on my objective evaluation of current practice, to meet development, that will ultimately keep us sustainable. I will argue that we are not sustainable if we try to limit ourselves to a "one planet economy". I will also argue there is a plentiful supply of clean energy - enough for at least ten thousand years - but will require major cooperation between us all to achieve it. In short, we need to aim for the stars. This, I believe, complements a fantastic talk I saw at Shamania last year (Sunday) where someone gave a talk on human evolution......I'd love to know his name (2pm last year?).

The layout of the 3 Henges, resemble the 3 stars in Orion’s Belt. 5000 years ago at the Winter Solstice,  would have aligned with these stars when viewed in the direction of the mid-winter sunset.
