What’s so inconvenient about the need to stop a lifestyle most people don’t enjoy much? Statistics don’t lie. Job satisfaction rates, public school satisfaction rates (ask the kids if they would quit if they could; I dare you) divorce rates, cancer rates, mental complication rates: all are either climbing or are already at frightening heights. So, a call for change is anything but inconvenient.
You fail to offer a vision that goes beyond environmental sustainability and ecological hygiene. You do not address the need for a complete cultural revolution; your emphasis on inconvenience and catastrophe fails to address the convenience and the eu-strophe.
Everything, from the clothes we wear to the way we speak, is wasteful and in need of a very convenient change.
We must go beyond a discourse based on renewable energy fantasies to a discourse infused with cerebral energy. Forgive my mischievous cryptogram—: I beg you, stop wasting time installing solar panels on the Titanic; the sooner we stop having such fantasies the sooner we can learn to imagine the way down to the land beneath our feet.
