The collapse of the capitalism model
Ted Trainer’s article provides a timely warning that the current model of greed encased in capitalism is nearing its logical end.
I have been involved in the recycling and zero waste movements and their refinement over the last 35 years. Despite highlighting the urgent need for change little happens. Every time a move is made to minimise the harm to the environment, such as plastics recycling, container recovery, alternate energy or safer and improved quality food production, the current capital model steals the concept and incorporates it into the greed structure to generate more income for the current investment model.
It is possible for local food production without chemicals and resource recovery without expensive infrastructure to exist at a local level without a focus on greed and social dysfunction – creating local employment through community engagement.
