If our economics is what we do with our energy in our time, the meaning we seek to bring into our economics should logically derive from an understanding of the event at which both time and energy are no longer available. The purpose of meaning is evolution perhaps - and what can we evolve into from a human state? Perhaps a God state? What could that be like? A state of neutrality? A state of infinite possibilities? A state of purposelessness? Thoughtlessness? Speechlessness? Actionlessness? A state that doesn't pose the challenge of searching for meaning in our agency? Moksha? Something like a quantum state where the test is not to see if we can do meaningful work but if we can rid ourselves of all desire and therefore all thought and need to act. We can be the sum total of all possibilities at once only when we don't bring any one of those possibilities into existence. Knowing what the next level of evolution is for us humans, and knowing what catastrophic results our activities have wrought on Nature, the challenge is to act as if we have evolved while still in human form.

UN Environment Programme while you are doing a great job in spreading more awareness and education, it would be good to see firm, obligatory legal controls at the manufacturer level.

When we speak of pollution why we speak of AIR. Water pollution kills more directly and indirectly , indirectly being no fresh water being available to billions . Do we know how much air is available and distribution on entire landscape of our planet . But I always found very intriguing the water statistics drawn long time ago but still valid or worse

economic growth in developing countries can grow more quickly without ignoring the environment, there are some things that are not implemented in many developing countries ***, ancient scientists have discovered valuable things ** that everyone forgets, without the developed countries realizing that they are implementing them, to To become a developed country, developing countries must go through this process,🌎🌍🌏
