The Problem
We are exploiting finite resources on a planet
that cannot sustain endless extraction.
All of humanity makes up just 0.01% of earth’s biomass
HUMANS 0.01%
Yet our impact is colossal!
Total living
global biomass
Total human
made mass
Concrete
Bricks
Sand and Stone
Metals
Asphalt
Plastic and Glass
BY 2040 THE HUMAN-MADE MASS EXTRACTION IS PREDICTED TO TRIPLE
Is opening up our planet’s last untouched wilderness – the deep ocean, really the solution to our supply crisis?
The rare metals of the deep seabed are not the answer.
They are the new oil
A true green revolution must move away from extracting finite resources
