How does the manufacture, marketing and use of “Premium Electric Vehicles”, solar panels and reusable rockets relate to the Meaning and Measurement of Progress and Ecological Economics? A Tesla Motors, Solar City and Falcon Rocket Case Study.

A paper that I wrote some time ago, and submitted to an Ecological Economics course as a component of my completion of a Master's Degree in Environmental Studies. The pertinence and scope of the paper was foremost in my mind. Considering the news-feeds of the last few weeks, now seems to be time to re-lease my thoughts into the stratosphere.

Abstract:

The planet earth shows signs of massive human modification. This current geological time frame may be referred to as the Anthropocene. Ecology is the study of “Nature’s household”; Economics is the study of “humankind’s household” (Author Information Pack, 2014). For the purposes of this paper, Ecological Economics is the study of our shared home and this paper is one writer’s attempt to tackle the complex environmental issues facing our shared home. A successful paper will communicate complex ecological problems in a way that is easily understood by people.  This requires focus and a clearly defined scope. These are not easily achieved tasks due to the holistic nature in which all things are connected. This paper is an ideological study on the Meaning and Measurement of Progress.  To evaluate the potential of technology without limits, the entrepreneurial pathway of Elon Musk is studied. Additional boundaries of analysis include discussions of Complexity, Urbanization, Throughput, Transitions, Transportation and Happiness. The working title of this paper was Bigger is Better. The original research question was: How does the manufacture, marketing and use of “Premium Electric Vehicles”, solar panels and reusable rockets relate to the Meaning and Measurement of Progress and Ecological Economics? A Tesla Motors, Solar City and Falcon Rocket Case Study.

The role of an individual in the Modern Global Food System

A person who has food has many problems. A person who has no food has only one problem. *

Executive Summary

Abstract

This research paper sets the groundwork for an explanation of the global food system using complexity science as the theoretical framework to recount the story of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), its origin (Solanum pimpinellifolium), its role in popular culture how the tomato enters and exits the global food system and our digestive systems. By arguing in defense of the right of every person to eat a healthy tomato this study focuses upon the benefits and risks of herbicides, specifically N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine. I approach solutions from an environmental justice standpoint.  I focus on the role of access to information as a leverage point. Methodologically, a detailed media survey led to the creation of a database that produced a timeline. Critical analysis of this timeline, actors and institutions allowed for focus on specific touchstones by which to ground my account. A review of the literature including environmental novels frames this timeline starting in the mid-to late 1800’s, through the age of industrialization incorporating the aftermath of Breton-Woods to 1971, Nixon, the Club of Rome, the year of my birth and Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.  The next pivotal time is my coming of age working as an agent for CIDA in the rain forest of Guyana, The Rio Summit, and my reading of the Brundtland Commission Report, “Our Common Future” in 1992.  This brings us to the present day of 2016 where the world's agriculture, chemical, and pesticide and pharmaceutical companies can be counted on one hand plus a finger.  2050 is a touchstone for a future that is just around the corner in historical scale. Influential authors and thinkers include Swift, Malthus, Thoreau, Geisel, Georgescu-Roegen, Carson, Meadows, Holling, Daly, Brundtland, and Atwood taking us into possible futures. This paper’s interest in neo-liberalism is rooted in deep-satire. This paper is completed with the philosophy of Plato allowing for further exploration of theories of Justice and Human Rights as they relate to everyone’s access to fresh healthy food.
