Two routes of sustainability planning


After having a small chat with a good friend of mine from Maldives, I saw what strong passion came from this patriot of pure goodness and optimism for the mere existence of human nature alone. Ahmed Thahseen, take care man! I will definitely go the islands to find you in the near future!

Maldives, a country of islands has officially sought to be the first Carbon-neutral country all in all. Done with an underwater cabinet meeting AND a flag. Quite creative a way to show the 'sinking of maldives' (at the rate of the current rising sea level momentum)
Thus after a little debate we came up with two solutions, a long term and a short term project.
Though this is nothing new I believe setting things out loud and clear sets a good start
  1. Education (long term) - such a project would notably been 'infused' with our education programs (and probably show big results every 10 years), at least with the direct relations in my architecture course; however, its too slow a movement and it has got to be thrown in quick. To understand the diminishing resources and rising problems. Bit by bit, cleaning corners for the future.
  2. Immediate last resort active solutions (short term) - this would cover from - EVERY single infrastructure & architecture being built this moment on has to be Green, to, throwing on expensive pv panels and windmills where the country can - salvaging and reducing the immediate use of the GHG reduction, carbon reduction & non-renewable resource using stuffs... (right now, Following the curve of supply n demand cross-ref with cost, the world would've died before cost exceed the annihilation risk hits these money-minds. )
Though I do believe the world shall get better in the near future, this curve is going to be a really hard one to pull back up; let alone find equilibrium.

When there's a will, there's a way;
Someone's just gotta take the first leap of faith
to make a better day.
