I have been discussing this issue with family and friends for years. Everyone thinks there is some magical solution that will be made available via technology. I recently watched a TED video of Hans Rosling discussing how the rest of the developing world was catching up to the West. While I could understand his glee over the fact that many people were being lifted out of abject poverty, I couldn't help but feel he was not seeing how disastrous this race to a Western lifestyle was on our natural world. I am just entering my 4th decade on the planet and can't help but notice, when compared to my childhood largely spent outdoors, how few birds, insects, and other wild animals there are these days. Honestly, I don't care how high my standard of living might or might not be if I know that it comes at the expense of every other species on the planet.
