Green Real Estate Case Study - Environmental Futurists Argument for Mega Cities

As the founder for a think tank which happens to operate online, I generally have the final say in who gets to join, and who doesn't. I've been rather alarmed in recent years by the number of folks attempting to join who had taken environmentalism almost as some sort of religion without having all their facts straight. Further, far too many of them have been brainwashed by academia to the point that they don't even really know the true definition of capitalism, and have in mind this nonsense that money is evil, and free markets aren't fair.

Additionally, I am concerned with what happens when groups of like-minded people that do not understand reality get together in group-think designing what they believe to be the future utopia and epitome of human civilizations. They fail to realize their history, or how the real world works, rather they are more interested in talking about some sort of fantasyland, that someone else is going to pay for, and everyone is going to live happily ever after enjoying a heavenly existence. Okay so, let's talk and let me give you a case study and example here.

There was an interesting research paper put out by Deutsche Post DHL, a Futurist type Report on logistics titled; "The World in 2050," the press release appeared on February 27, 2012.
Anyway, the piece had an overview of 5-potential scenarios and in scenario one which is depicted as an; "Untamed Economy," with "Impending Collapse" the article stated;

"The world is characterized by unchecked materialism and mass consumption. This non-sustainable way of life is fed by the relentless exploitation of resources, a development that stokes climate change and causes natural disasters to mount. In a world characterized by tumultuous growth, demand for logistics and transport services climbs sharply. A global transportation supergrid ensures a rapid exchange of goods between centers of consumption. But as climate change advances, supply chains are increasingly disrupted, a development causing additional challenges for logistics companies."

Now then, I am not sure what type of fantasyland these folks are living in but I have some harsh and critical words for all this nonsense and global warming alarmism. You see, when I first heard about this report I was very excited in reading it, because I consider myself a Futurist in many regards, although I am not the type of Futurist who leans towards Plato utopian communistic theory. Further, to criticize consumption, is also to criticize capitalism, abundance, and all that the free-market can deliver.

It seems these utopians want to be free from want, and they want to make sure no one else can have what they want. That everyone should have only what they need to barely to survive, and nothing more, but that isn't what the human animal is about, nor does it take into consideration the innate characteristics of the species. We can't go around predicting the future without understanding the human animal. And we aren't going to be able to change the brain structure or the foundational genetics within to make people happy as minimalists by wishful thinking.

Now then, that's not saying we can't use genetic manipulation, drugs, pharmaceuticals, or future modification of the species to do it. But in that future aren't we really talking about turning human beings into a giant collective or Borg? Oh my gosh, 1984 here we come. As if all this nonsensical thinking wasn't enough, these futurist have to throw in the whole global warming religion issue, claiming there will be dystopia, or we can never reach our goals unless we do it their way, which happens to be destroying our energy infrastructure, changing the economic flows of civilization globally, changing the way we consume, the way we live, and submitting to the ultimate authority, namely their's.

It is interesting that the folks who were involved in this project, and this collaborative futurist work have played their hand, and now we see what they want to do, they want to control every aspect of our lives, tell us what we can and cannot have, hijack our energy infrastructure, and then promise us they will deliver what we need, which is what we will in the future agree to if we adopt their global warming religion. You only have to read between the lines just a little bit to see what's going on here, and it should scare you. If it doesn't scare you, I would submit to you that you are not paying attention.

In fact, most of the challenges we have in our economy, supply chain, and free-market system have to do with the same sorts of folks with their left leaning thinking trying to manipulate the flows of money, labor, production, and capital. It is obvious they want to do this well into the future, and if they aren't allowed to, they claim that we are all going to die because of global warming, that we will live some sort of a terrible existence. Well, I have news for you, all those folks who have promoted a utopian society in the past, trying to create something that will last for 1000 years - well, we've all seen what has happened, and mankind is not the better for their exploits, and exploratory projects with human civilization.

The reality is that when you look at the United States and the free-market system, and as we practice capitalism to our best ability, although we do fall down at times, we have created massive abundance, and it's worked quite well. This is the model we should follow, and anything to destroy this model is a threat to America's future. If those folks want to run their little game plan, and create their little communist nation state, or the folks in Belgium want to create a unified Europe, then let them go try, but as I look out around the world now, I see their projects have failed time and time again. And personally I don't think the United States should be bailing them out, or joining in cahoots with a nonsensical dream, or a new environmental religion.

It is obvious what works, and what hasn't worked. Capitalism has worked, socialism and communism haven't, and therefore we should all take notice and move forward into the future of humankind with that knowledge. We should not dismiss it, deny it, or trample on that truth. The problem with goody-two-shoed environmentalist futurism is that all their theories are flawed, and their foundation is baseless nonsense - it's all a house of cards, and if you fall for it, the Joker of dystopia wins. Please consider all this and think on it.

Steel buildings respectful of the environment for environmental purposes

There are many reasons that some people choose to building steel for the purpose of the environment. This type of building is much more environmentally friendly than the structures of the past. The real nature of the eco - minerals that are used, all the way to the actual construction process, these structures are kind to the planet. This article will be explaining this much more detail.

The real nature of the ores used in these structures is one of the factors that contribute to making these so environmentally friendly structures. These minerals can be melted and reused for other purposes if a building has to every being disassembled. Any type of recycling as it is great for the planet, especially when one considers that the materials may be recycled to another similar building.

Many old structures of the past have always been taken from materials of brick and wood. The bad thing about these materials is that they wind up in a landfill if the building is each dismantled. Garbage of the average consumer is enough of a problem; having the entirety of a wind in such building makes it only fills the worse problem.

The type of insulation that is generally applied to these structures is more environmentally friendly solutions for isolation of the past. Many structures of glass fibre insulation used past. The processes involved in the creation and transport of glass fibre are all very hard on the environment. A reflective simple and light weight material is used for the isolation of the type of building discussed here.

The fact that these structures are built much faster lends itself also to them being a more environmentally friendly option. Any person who is even vaguely familiar with the process of construction may already know that this process is harmful to the environment. Much energy is being burned by the many parties involved, and this occurs until the process is completely finished.

Many materials which are used to create these structures were prefabricated in loans to go to pieces by the company that sells the. Just think of all the materials to be cut on a traditional job site. Traditional construction sites are typically on litter left on the materials which lie. When they are thrown, they wind up in a fill.

It is also very important for people to consider how much more cost effective solutions are compared to traditional structures. It never hurts to save a little money while being friendly with the environment. This nature cost-effective eco - the nature of these structures is likely to make the wave of the future. This starts to happen already.

Now, the reader should be aware of the many reasons that some people choose buildings steel for environmental reasons. It is very difficult to find a structure which is also friendly to the Earth this type. The fact that they go up much more quickly and do not cost almost as much is also very attractive for many people.

What's better tha a steel made toro buildings? They are perfect for work, storage, Office, livestock and so much more. steel buildings cover all uses, sizes and finishes.
