If you merely want to maintain current standards of living, then economic growth equal to population growth will do. If you want to continue to improve living standards, then you will have to increase the rate of growth faster than population.

Can we have a sustainable environment (world) is we do not first create sustainable relationships with each ot?
Can we have a sustainable environment (world) is we do not first create sustainable relationships with each other? What might those look like? Can you give an example?
The Expert answers:
Yes but not on a grand scale, obviously national parks exist and we could conceivably get rid of plastic and suburbs, but getting everyone to live in megacities is another problem that’ll be tough to tackle. Unfortunately, the world is spiraling downward into a new manmade extinction era, all the big cats might be gone by 2020, and once the top predators go, the ecosystem is toast (not to mention boring). I hope we can save the lions, tigers, and bears but we got a long road ahead, and we dont have the cash to waltz into africa and say “hey you, poor farmer guy, you cant plant these crops here, youll have to starve so the lions can eat the gazelle that graze here. And hey you masai cattle guy and rich hunter guy, stop killing those lions theres less than 23,000 left, you probly got more ants in ur house then ther are lions left in the world.” well, combined we have the cash but most people just dont care about tigers and lions like i do, they just say farewell, have fun with the dodo birds in heaven

How and why is MDF wood and Jelutong Wood sustainable?
How and why is MDF wood and Jelutong Wood sustainable?
What makes it sustainable?
The Expert answers:
MDF stands for Medium Density Fiberboard. The fibers are from pine and other softwoods which grow faster than hardwoods such as oak.
Because softwoods grow relatively fast it’s considered sustainable.
The majority of the material that goes into MDF is waste product from other processes, so it can be also considered green.
MDF is made of wood pulp which is formed, heated, compressed and cut into the final shape. Wood pulp can be made from recycled sawdust, wood chips, scrap from other wood processes, and from trees not suitable for other purposes. When you buy MDF you can find out which manufacturer makes it, and how much of the material is recycled and how much comes from standing trees.
Hope this helps,
Alan
