Our Circular Eco Economy

Our Circular Eco Economy (5-Part Series); Intro Version; 46 min, 21 sec

We are continuing learning about this earth. I hope you enjoyed the previous three episodes about the evolution of this One Precious Earth, its animals, and how we actually are able to breathe oxygen (for the moment) because of sponges turning the methane atmosphere into a suitable space for life to form.

This episode is also different than the previous ones. I used Google AI to translate it for me. So it is from an objective voice. I'm curious to hear how that affects you.

Our circular eco economy. I from pollution from America to India to Pakistan to the UAE to who is to blame and who can help. Note, this group of five articles, our circular ecoeconomy, are not an I Know It All series. They are articles to try to get people thinking more creatively about our future planet and people. I went to MIT Sloan School of Management and Harvard Kennedy School of Government. I studied system dynamics. Please send your insights, feedback, and ideas to me at ashleyheacock at gmail.com. Please share this article with anybody you think you could have an intelligent conversation with about these topics. If you would like to be part of this initiative, I have plans to create Zoom spaces for us to communicate with each other or Slack or ideas that you all may have. Please email me at Ashleyheaco Gmail.com. If you would like to be part of this new project for our world, demonstration of pollution's negative karma being spread from country to country. Articles on the rampant pollution in Pakistan. Lahore, the capital of Punjab and Pakistan's second largest city, on Sunday had its worst air quality ever recorded, prompting the government to shut all primary schools this week. In the days since, the city has been cloaked in toxic eye-irritating smog. On Thursday, Lahore had the worst air quality of any city in the world, according to iCare, a Swiss air quality monitoring company. The air feels thick, and it's exhausting just to breathe, Soft Darmassi, 42, a gardener in Lahore, said on Thursday. Even with windows and doors shut, the smog had seeped into homes, he said. The World Bank has said that air pollution shortens the average life expectancy of Pakistanis by 4.3 years, and leads to losses equivalent to about 6.5% of the economy. Typically, one would blame Pakistan and say they're dumb. But I'm an educated person and thought this seemed atypical. It was confusing to me, so I did some research. Aurangzeb said the fumes were being carried by strong winds into Pakistan. This cannot be solved without talks with India, she said, adding that the provincial government would initiate such discussions through the foreign ministry. Inhaling toxic air can have catastrophic health consequences, including strokes, heart disease, lung cancer, and some respiratory diseases. According to the WHO, last month pupils were banned from outdoor exercise until January, and school hours were adjusted to prevent children from traveling when pollution levels are the highest. As a mother, I am full of anxiety, 42-year-old Lily Mirza told AFP News Agency. Last year was not this bad. Somebody needs to tell us what has happened. Did a pollution bomb explode somewhere? The United Arab Emirates solution to Pakistan's problem. Teams from the UAE, along with two planes, arrived here about ten to twelve days ago. They used forty eight flares to create the rain, he said. The UAE has increasingly used cloud seeding, sometimes referred to as artificial rain or blue skying, to create rain in the arid expanse of the country. In the cloud seeding process, silver iodide, a yellowish salt, is burned in clouds in a compound with acetone to encourage condensation to form as rain. Nakvi reassured the public of the safety of the artificial rain, citing more than 1,000 annual missions by the UAE and similar technologies used in dozens of countries, including the United States, China, and India. Typically, one would then blame India and say they're dumb for polluting Pakistan. But I'm an educated person, and know that the factories in Asia are the ones producing all the goods for the world. Especially consumerism. So the circular eco economy could go something like this. From America consumerism, I want more products. To India I will build it for you because we are poor, so lots of pollution due to industrialism. To Pakistan, the wind carries the pollution to Pakistan, making the children incapable of even going to school. To the UAE, let's blow chemicals up into the air to try to help. So my question is, if this is coming from India, then it is probably coming from consumerism, addiction, and greed in the United States. We the people who buy the products from Asia made in filthy petroleum factories that are then shipped to us in the US and we receive. The products like nothing happened to the earth, air, water, or the people in Asia. So why do we talk just about countries? Why not about regions? Why not about who is buying the goods that are produced by petroleum pollution? What is the effect of poor air in Asia? The Environmental Research Group at Imperial College London published a review in April 2023 following decades of scientific research about air pollution. The review found connections between air pollution and the health of newborn babies in the first weeks of life, low birth weight, miscarriages, and stillbirths. It also found that early exposure to air pollution can hinder development. According to the Air Quality Life Index Acule, published by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago Epic in August 2023, the average Indian's life expectancy is reduced by 5.3 years due to PM 2.5 pollution. In New Delhi, life expectancy is cut by 10 years. The report found that an average Pakistani would live for 3.9 years longer if air quality met the WHO guidelines. Growing industrialization in South Asia in recent decades has driven an increase in pollutants emanating from factories, construction activity, and vehicles in densely populated areas. The problem becomes more severe in cooler autumn and winter months, as temperature inversion prevents a layer of warm air from rising and traps pollutants closer to the ground. Rising air pollution can cut life expectancy by more than five years per person in South Asia, one of the world's most polluted regions. According to a report published in August, which flagged the growing burden of hazardous air on health. Pakistan is responsible for less than 1% of global carbon emissions, but is among the top ten most climate vulnerable nations. What can be done to remedy South Asia's air quality crisis? The IKEA Air Report recommends that governments invest in renewable energy initiatives, introduce incentives for cleaner vehicles, improve infrastructure to enable better pedestrian mobility, and ban agricultural burning practices. While interesting, it does not get into the dynamics of the circular eco economy. Greed, materialism, consumerism. The US gets free of air pollution, while countries in Asia get saturated with it. Fair or not. Then get this. Now the UAE is playing God and disrupting earthly patterns with spouting out random chemicals into the sky. How bad can this get? Are we sure this is safe? Let's just blow things up into the air rather than face the hunger of consumerism we really need to face. Wow, circular eco economy gone wild. New research found that fewer than 10% of countries and territories met World Health Organization guidelines for particulate matter pollution last year. So, who can help? Read my next article on a possible solution. Our circular eco economy too. Can MIT make a Ven Some System Dynamics model of this situation? John Sturman Roberto Rigabon, Vicky Chu Chiao, Yang Hajir, Ramandad, Peter M. Senge Jason J. Muhammad Jalali. Our circular eco economy two. Questions for people who would like to create a currency based upon the karmic effects on the environment and people. Note, this group of five articles, our circular eco economy, are not an I Know It All series. They are articles to try to get people thinking more creatively about our future, planet, and people. I went to MIT Sloan School of Management and Harvard Kennedy School of Government. I studied system dynamics. Please send your insights, feedback, and ideas to me at ashleyheacockgmail.com. If you would like to be part of this initiative, I have plans to create Zoom spaces for us to communicate with each other, or Slack, or ideas that you all may have. Please email me at Ashleyheacockgmail.com if you would like to be part of this new project for our world. What needs to be considered now? Hormones, antibiotics, steroids, whatever else they put in animals that then get into our brains if we eat them and we become super dumb, sustainable, organic farms preferable. My proposed solution is here, which includes the start of an Excel spreadsheet, FYI system dynamics team. We are literally eating our own stupid shit. The cow manure also gets into the water stream making us dumb. Chemical products that get into the water stream. Then again we end up super dumb, biodegradable, preferable. Not recycling minerals from the earth. They took so long to form, and we are treating them like pennies. We need to protect what was made for future generations, for millennia. When it's gone, it's gone. This is it, y'all. The earth formed beautiful minerals, plants and animals over billions, trillions of years. Can we respect what was created by life? The Amazon rainforest is now starting to absorb more carbon than oxygen. Again, we are literally starting to eat our own shit. My article with the facts Life Herself is dying. Grandparents' earplugs that plug them from listening to anything outside. It's terrible really. It's your connection to others, to God to be able to listen. Other considerations, just throwing some creative ideas out there. Minerals. How long did it take to form XYZ, petroleum, baking soda, bentonite clay? How should we recycle? How should we preserve? Who gets access to these precious minerals? Especially for electronics, computer chips, etc. What about baking soda? How long will mothers be able to cook with baking soda before that precious resource is gone? Or will we make it in a lab? Food. What can grow?

SPEAKER_00 14:48

Where Okay, I'm gonna just stop here and say that this is more beneficial to kind of like read it online. Um these are like considerations for the comic uh Excel spreadsheet that a system dynamics person could create.

SPEAKER_01 15:06

Where, why, under what conditions? Well being, what is calming, what is beautiful, what is inspiring, etc. Put it into an AI artificial intelligence system, and it will generate categories into infinity, pollution, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, acidity levels, air, water, ground. Again, this could be new programming for AI scientists. Use less than etc for new scripts. What should we pay for EW factors, garbage men, bathroom cleaners? What is really a fair wage? My next question, what is money? Investipedia, money doesn't always have value, whether it's represented by a seashell, a metal coin, a piece of paper, or a string of code mined electronically by a computer, with global wealth estimated to be about $432 trillion at the end of 2023. The value of money depends on the importance that people place on it as a medium of exchange, a unit of measurement, and a storehouse for wealth. My question What is global wealth? What is going up? What is going down? Plus up karma positive, new ecotech, like a cool solar panel, MIT, Caltech, Apple Computer, Homebiogas.com, organic gardeners, down karma negative like cow hormones and manure pollution, acidity and petroleum and trash in the ocean, chicken antibiotics, fish mercury poisoning, petroleum pollution, anemia, gonorrhea, chlamydia, glacial melting and the disappearance of Miami and Japan and Texas and Hawaii and all those other island indigenous territories that people currently could give two shits about, insect infestations, etc. The below is an example of a start of a spreadsheet I made. On Google spreadsheets that anybody can access, that an intelligent economist, system dynamics theorist, cryptocurrency operator, or really anybody imaginative and caring could use to get their creative impulses going. If I were an MIT system dynamics researcher, I would put this model into a Venom computer program with an artificial intelligence researcher. Then see what happens when all the variables are circulated. What would you do? Here is an example of a system dynamics diagram by the School of Management and Engineering, Capital University of Economics and Business, Beijing. It is incredible. It really demonstrates what the Vencim Computer Software is capable of. A system dynamics model for ecological environmental management in coal mining areas in China. This is the power of the Vensom System Dynamics Software. Wow. If you're a curious soul, or NASA, or MIT, or somebody who is capable of statistical analysis, then try out Vensum. It's free. And perhaps find a partner, collaborator, an artificial intelligence coder, etc.

SPEAKER_00 19:07

This article is written by Ashley Heacock, MIT Sloan School of Management, Emba Harvard Kennedy School, MPFE George Washington University, BA Okay, I'm gonna stop here and just say again, you will need to read the article to see the diagrams. This article is really about um I have an Excel spreadsheet on there, and then I also have Venison diagrams from uh the Beijing University. So uh that would be really helpful for all of you.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

Our circular eco economy two atmospheric factual data on karmic positive and negative zones, what NASA or somebody with those technical capabilities could do to help. Note this group of five articles. Our circular eco economy are not an I know it all series. They are articles to try to get people thinking more creatively about our future planet and people. I went to MIT Sloan School of Management and Harvard Kennedy School of Government. I studied system dynamics. Please send your insights, feedback, and ideas to me at ashleyheacock at gmail.com. Please share this article with anybody you think you could have an intelligent conversation with about these topics. If you would like to be part of this initiative, I have plans to create Zoom spaces for us to communicate with each other or Slack or ideas that you all may have. Please email me at AshleyheacGmail.com. If you would like to be part of this new project for our world, I have three suggestions for NASA. Atmospheric research, laboratory tests, system dynamics models. One, can NASA or somebody who does atmospheric research do a study on percentage of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, etc in each cubic meter of the entire earth? Karmic positive or negative to the circular eco economy? Where are the factories polluting the earth and water and air? Where are the cow factory farms polluting the earth and water and air? Where are the forests polluting? Gardens and farms that are helping produce more oxygen for all. If we can have a map of the world showing us who is polluting and who is helping, then we can take further action. Two, can NASA or somebody start two differentials of atmospheric zones as laboratory tests? Set up one laboratory that is filled with cow manure, hormones, antibiotics, petroleum gas, and anything else that is polluting the world, see what happens, collect data. Set up another laboratory that is filled with flowers, herbs, hemp, absorbs a lot of carbon, trees, and anything else that helps oxygenize the world, see what happens, collect data. Bring politicians and newscasters to the laboratories to see firsthand the impacts of climate change and our personal and societal behaviors and decisions. Have them tell a story about pollution of the earth and possible solutions. 3. Can NASA or somebody reach out to the MIT system dynamics team and start working with them on a circular eco economy Venom Computer Artificial Intelligence diagram of what is happening on planet Earth? Why doesn't the government start cooperating more with universities that could help save the environment? Read our circular eco economy one and two, and then perhaps email the system dynamics team at MIT and see what can transpire through cooperation. This article is written by Ashley Heacock, MIT Sloan School of Management, Emba Harvard Kennedy School, Empatha George Wall. Our circular ecoeconomy, Ivor. Solutions, sustainable, organic, community farms all around the world. Note this group of five articles, our circular eco economy, are not an I Know It All series.

Please email me at Ashleyheaco Gmail.com if you would like to be part of this new project for our world. The Amazon rainforest is now emitting more carbon dioxide than it is able to absorb. Scientists have confirmed for the first time. The emissions amount to a billion tons of carbon dioxide a year, according to a study. The giant forest had previously been a carbon sink, absorbing the emissions driving the climate crisis, but is now causing its acceleration, researchers said. Most of the emissions are caused by fires. Many deliberately set to clear land for beef and soy production. But even without fires, hotter temperatures and droughts mean the southeastern Amazon has become a source of CO2 rather than a sink. Growing trees and plants have taken up about a quarter of all fossil fuel emissions since 1960, with the Amazon playing a major role as the largest tropical forest. Losing the Amazon's power to capture CO2 is a stark warning that slashing emissions from fossil fuels is more urgent than ever, scientists said. The Guardian. The Amazon currently is not able to absorb all the crap literally. We are putting out into the environment. Life herself is dying. Life herself is dying, the Amazon rainforest, awakening consciousness. I live in the sacred valley of Peru. I have been doing research.

SPEAKER_00 27:08

Okay, so this you would need to read on Medium. Um I talked about the Amazon Rainforest dying, so this is like an article that Medium is transcribing.

SPEAKER_01 27:31

Cities just have buildings. They do not help, except if you want mass cooperation. Gardens, forests, parks help to take in all of that carbon and release oxygen. We need a ratio of people, nature, cities to ensure proper ventilation so we can breathe and survive as a species. Possible solution. Organic, sustainable, diverse, community-oriented farms. Organic sustainable farms, awakening consciousness. Do you think we should start calculating how much energy we get from wheat, rice, and soy? Could we do better? How?

SPEAKER_00 28:28

Do you think we should start calculating how much Okay, so again, this is an article that I wrote about organic sustainable sustainable farms that are diverse and that might be giving us more nutrition than what we currently have? And and yeah, so it you you'd you'd have to go on my median page. Alright.

SPEAKER_01 28:55

UW dot awakening consciousness dot community dot. Do you think we should start calculating how much energy we get from wheat, rice, and soy? Could we do better? That was part of the industrial revolutoin of feeding the slaves of war. We are now in the twenty first century of organic, community oriented, compassionate, sustainable farms? How much energy does yucca or maka or quinoa or al garabina or kiwicha give a person? How much energy does each plant deplete or give to the land, water, carbon, oxygen, other species, etc. Do you think we're destroying the entire earth for crops that don't really give us any nutrition? Could we have organic, sustainable, community oriented loving farms all over the world that create healthy nutrition for every local population? Google AI search question What is the rate of inequality in the world top one percent? Google AI Search answer The world's top one percent of the population owns a large portion of the world's wealth and income, and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Wealth in twenty twenty three, the world's richest one percent owned forty seven point five percent of the world's wealth, which is about two hundred and fourteen trillion dollars. This is while the bottom fifty percent of the world's population owns less than two percent of the world's wealth. Income. The top 10% of the world's population earns more than the bottom 50% in many regions. For example, in East Asia, Russia, and Central Asia, and North America, the top 10% earn 16 times more than the bottom 50%. New wealth. Since 2020, the top 1% has captured nearly two-thirds of the $42 trillion in new wealth created, which is almost twice as much as the bottom 99% of the world's population. The unequal distribution of wealth can have negative consequences, including hampering economic growth, the gap between the rich and the poor can make it harder for societies to flourish and can lead to social instability. Corrupting politics and media, inequality can corrupt and polarize politics and media. Eroding democracies, inequality can erode democracies. So as a suggestion, let's get the army, cannabis jailed sinless men, and anybody who wants a job to start building sustainable farms where people can live together in harmony. The women can also help with cooking, gardening, cleaning. They can be provided jobs too. Let's build a trail all across the United States where people can hike, bike, or bus from farm to farm. They can farm, cook, clean, meditate, smoke cannabis, be part of a loving community. Basically the dream of the hippies. A lot of American citizens are sitting in their parents' basements with no jobs, watching TV, and being useless. Some may have spent money on college, now regret it because you don't really need a BA to do most work. Some may have given into societal pressure and now have malnourished children and try to survive by using meth. And what do the Republicans in South Dakota do? They use money to put up billboards against meth rather than use that money to feed the homeless and help people get out of poverty. It's a bizarre situation. With this sustainable farm solution, it's for California but can be scaled to the entire country and world. Everybody can feel useful and loved. You can plant trees, you can start a garden, you could become a woodworker, you could become an artist, you could become a shaman, a guitar player. You could start a hemp factory to get rid of petroleum plastics and make biodegradable products. You never know. This farm community is meant to help give you a break. Slow down, calm down, dream. Plus plus, this will be an area where we can treat animals with dignity. Factory farms give hormones and antibiotics and cruelty to animals, and it ends up in people who then become blinder, dumber, and more ill. So as we create loving community farms where there is a karma positive ratio of healthy people, healthy animals, healthy plants, that will be helpful. Ideas from history that were successful. Civilian Conservation Corps, nineteen thirty three, FDR. I propose to create a civilian conservation corps to be used in simple work. More important, however, than the material gains will be the moral and spiritual value of such work. I see one third of a nation ill housed, ill clad, ill nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Conservation of Sacred Sites 1933 FDR Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programs, combined with his enthusiasm for conservation, laid a firm foundation for protecting the nation's natural bounty. The extent of the conservation projects carried on during the New Deal was far more reaching than anything attempted before. Soil erosion control, water conservation, the preservation of wildlife, and other environmental protection activities became a part of the everyday life and activities of American citizens. The importance of the work was new and inspiring. Under his leadership, FDR's programs introduced new concepts on a national level in planning for the responsible use of our natural and historic resources. National Park Service. The Marshall Plan, U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall, 1947. It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health to the world without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full cooperation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist. U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall at Harvard's commencement address. We need to move people around, create unique opportunities, create sustainable, diverse farmlands, or come up with super creative ideas to ensure the ratio between carbon to oxygen is stabilized. Read our circular economy two here for more ideas. Our circular eco economy too. Questions for people who would like to create a currency based upon the karmic effects on the environment and people. Medium.com. And if you don't think any of this is a problem, read about the children in Pakistan not being able to go to school in the first part of this series due to serious pollution waves. Our circular eco economy, I, from pollution from America to India, to Pakistan to the UAE, to who's to blame and who can help? Medium.com. This article is written by Ashley Heacock, MIT Sloan School of Management, MB Harvard Kennedy School, MPAT, George Washington University, BA Economics, BA International Relations. My circular eco economy would be a solution, a compassion network of getting to those with carbon positive ideas. They are articles to try to get people thinking more creatively about our future, planet, and people. I went to MIT's Law School of Management and Harvard Kennedy School of Government. I studied system dynamics. Please send your insights, feedback, and ideas to me at Ashley Keck at gmail.com. Please share this article with anybody you think you can have an intelligent conversation with about these topics. If you would like to be part of this initiative, I have plans to create Zoom spaces for us to communicate with each other or Slack or ideas that you all may have. Please email me at actually gmail.com if you would like to be part of this new project for our world. Here is my idea of a solution for giving to those people who have really good ideas to help the people on the planet. This is about empowering a new generation of young people around the world who are educated and socially minded, who care about the people on the planet, and have good ideas they are inspired by. Where did the product come from? How was the earth treated? How were the people treated? What were the consequences of this resource created? We can begin modeling these new currency and social welfare systems often how life, energy, and the universe functions. For instance, currently the United States receives all the benefits from products made in the rest of the world, but at a cost of devastating pollution and harm to the environment and people, we must realize we are all one, i.e. quantum entangled. The greed and pain of the United States needs to be calculated. As people come into their hearts, we will not need such a massive consumerist economy. As we understand nature and new AI quantum technologies come to the fore, we will advance towards more efficiencies in all that we create. As we become harmonious with how the universe works. Nothing will be treated as a waste, but rather all will be respected, recycled, reused, and repurposed. In this new Bitcoin cryptocurrency, those who value nature and human beings will be rewarded. Those who destroy others and the world will be brought to the awareness of society. And people can choose who they support by what they buy, where they live, and who they support. When all is known, people can make choices that reflect their heart and soul, and that will be recorded. Creating a socially maximally beneficial energetic currency distribution system. Using the quantum laws of the universe to build a system for human beings to flourish into their destiny. Medium.com dot. Another possibility is asking the wealthiest to give to the compassion network so we can create a fund and spread this on Okay, one second again.

This entrepreneurial, eco-social-minded spirit around the world. In August 2010, 40% of America's wealthiest people made a commitment to give the majority of their wealth to address some of society's most pressing problems. Created by Warren Buffett, Melinda French Gates, and Bill Gates, the Giving Pledge came to life following a series of conversations with philanthropists about how they could set a new standard of generosity among the ultra-wealthy. While originally focused on the United States, the Giving Pledge quickly sought interest from philanthropists around the world. The Giving Pledge. This is about building on a wonderful tradition of philanthropy that will ultimately help the world become a much better place. Bill Gates. You can scroll through the incredible list of pledge signatories here. Home, the giving pledge. A commitment to philanthropy, the giving pledge is a promise by the world's wealthiest individuals and families to Giving Pledge.org. What other ideas do you have?
