Any of you all not buying WKHS stock don’t care anything about our planet. EVs are the future!

Before we waste our time and energy let’s go through this quick checklist –
Is it solving the right problem?
Is it scientifically viable? Does it obey the known laws of physics?
Is it technologically viable? Is there a demonstration project working today?
Is it scalable? Are there resources available for everybody in the world to do this?
Is it resources viable? Is there a sustainable supply of minerals available?
Is it land a viable? Is there enough space available without taking away from a forest or agricultural land?
Is it politically viable? Can it be made acceptable to the general population?
Links to the original projects would be useful for fact checking
Thanks
Impressive overview of sustainable initiatives across sectors! The focus on ethical environmental accounting and conservation efforts highlights the comprehensive strategies needed to achieve a sustainable economy.
I like your video keep it up
Pipe dreams.
This is cool asf and makes me wanna become aomething of these professions
All that water in California could be put to good use as any other stormwater.
Canals coast to coast. Biofuel farms, fish farms, shrimp farms, shellfish farms, hydroponic farms, fruit tree farms, and nuts, wineries, hemp farms for textiles and bioplastics, animal husbandry, Drainage, reservoirs, canals, pumps, water reclamation, energy storage with dams, mechanical and electric wind turbines to pump water, recreation, distribution of water coast to coast, freight distribution, water distribution with the canals. You have nothing without water 💦. That’s a lot of jobs and an unimaginable amount of work and labor. Every ancient civilization built its economy and huge cities around rivers and irrigation.
Is wood the most sustainable materials? really?

Great ideas i didnt even know eg growing wood in a lab. Just heard blood can also be grown in a lab. Why not grow cotton as well? And oh, nice graphics. Who made them?
be kind to nature.
Circular economy achieved through Cradle to Cradle Certified products made with safe and healthy chemicals and designed for disassembly…all powered by renewably powered electricity…is a game changer that needs rapid escalation throughout our global economy.
whats is the name of the brand or company who is
Making affordable fashion sustainable
Tysm
I for one am doing anything even in the smallest ways for the better of this world and our environment.

1:10 – I STARTED DOING THIS IN 2020 😎
Growing furniture is insane.
Most mass implementation were delayed because of supply disruption, russia ukraine war, and coming recessioms
Hey we love this video! I hope you don’t mind that I repost this and tag you 🙂
provide the contacts / web addresses so that we can ACT on this info
Sustainability is very important especially now more than ever.
Origins of 10000000000
We can truly embrace sustainability by cutting down on mass consumption, avoiding the constant upgrade to new smartphones every two years, choosing locally sourced fruits over those shipped thousands of kilometers on container ships, and refraining from frequent air travel.
great ideas!!

Leave nature alone get humans away from everything that is being destroyed now would help
Interesting
😮😊😊
Wait till you learn that the MIT research for lab grown plants was fake….
I’m taken by this. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and I was truly taken by it. "Mastering Money Mindfulness" by Benjamin Hawk

Hiiiiiii 5b
Pollution doesn’t need to be made frrom fossil oils to be unhealhty for biology idiots! using plant oils is no different, it’s the synthisis that is turning it into pollution
Seems to be more theoretical
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is incredible

"Partner Content" you just tricked us all into watching an ad for some start up investments by Lombard Odier Asset Management 👏👏👏 like the one who discovered how to make plastic quicker without using oil. We’re not running out of oil, the problem with plastic is not that we need to make it quicker. Seriously F*ck off FT, this video is a d*ck move
Make everything as a consumer with collaboration and AI to make solutions for everything and sustainability in this way you can solve all world problems.

Great Video shame that it has such low views.
As a person that invented a unit that makes power let me tell you since 2016 i have learned that solar and wind are the flavor of the month as it were. BUT as the public starts to see that today the only recycling of wind farm blades is to cut them up and bury them or grind them up to powder and added to wet concrete & solar is no better SO THE CLOCK IS TICKING DOWN FOR THAT MARKET
Informative and much needed..
Don’t send messages that are wrong! Timber isn’t the driver of deforestation. In most of the largest wood products producing countries forests are growing! Agriculture and land use drive deforestation, not manufacturing of wood products. Replicating in scale in a la what million of hectares of trees do thanks to the sun wont be feasible
1.consumers = People and Products
2. Collaboration = governance, companies and people
3. Sustainability = everything
Costa Rica explot nicaragua’s wood. I don’t buy their "achivements" in conservation.
