Positive effects of industry era: Abundance of materials

Positive effects of industry era: Convenient transportation & communication

Negative effects of industry era: Environmental issues

Negative effects of industry era: Competition, unsatisfied, stress

Possible solutions Take advantage of the positive effects Try to avoid the negative effects Enjoy the bare necessities Be independent

Vision: Setup of the National Parks John Muir ( )

Vision: Enjoy the bare necessities

Sustainability Human rights and dignity Accountability Efficiency Investment in the future Vision: Green Economy
