Share material resources
Philosophy
2021
Bringing us the material that helps us prosper will affect the planet/biosphere/nature no matter how hard we try to avoid it. It is our nature, it is our economy’s nature. We are dissipative structures meaning we consume resources and leave waste.
So when we go about consuming resources we should be aware and respect not only of the limits of the resource itself but the ecosystem it is a part of and taken from and later returned to so we can continue using materials that helps us prosper.
And living on a finite planet means that we have a fixed amount of resources, both considering finiteness of non-renewables and finiteness of renewables (their regenerative capacity has a limit and there is limit called minimum viable population) and that therefore we should carefully think on what use our resources on and make sure all of us benefit from their use.
