Plerr's comments:
on A Conversation with Bill McKibben
1. Does the speaker believe that our society will voluntarily transform itself into a sane and sustainable way of living? And if not, what does that say about the tactics for the movements he's mentioned?
2. If the speaker proscribes as transference of wealth from wealthy nations to poorer nations. How does he envision such a transference occuring?
3. Even if our culture can slow it's pollution and energy consumption, as suggested by the speaker. Does it not still mean that our way of living is ultimately unsustainable? What does the speaker envision a sustainable society, will look like?
