From the Ground Up Ep. 158: Civilization Critical with Darrin Qualman | 2020.02.26

Darrin Qualman talks about his recent book, "Civilization Critical". He identifies sustainable civilization with a circular economy (as opposed to a linear one), in line with the natural cycles of water and nutrients. In a sustainable civilization, energy, which can never be fully "recycled" (because of the second law of thermodynamics), also needs solar inputs through natural processes. Hosted on Acast.
