    Costa Rica explot nicaragua’s wood. I don’t buy their "achivements" in conservation.

    great ideas!!

    😮😊😊

    Great ideas i didnt even know eg growing wood in a lab. Just heard blood can also be grown in a lab. Why not grow cotton as well? And oh, nice graphics. Who made them?

  8. @jacobbarlow9267 on November 8, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    Pollution doesn’t need to be made frrom fossil oils to be unhealhty for biology idiots! using plant oils is no different, it’s the synthisis that is turning it into pollution

    All that water in California could be put to good use as any other stormwater.
    Canals coast to coast. Biofuel farms, fish farms, shrimp farms, shellfish farms, hydroponic farms, fruit tree farms, and nuts, wineries, hemp farms for textiles and bioplastics, animal husbandry, Drainage, reservoirs, canals, pumps, water reclamation, energy storage with dams, mechanical and electric wind turbines to pump water, recreation, distribution of water coast to coast, freight distribution, water distribution with the canals. You have nothing without water . That’s a lot of jobs and an unimaginable amount of work and labor. Every ancient civilization built its economy and huge cities around rivers and irrigation.

    Wait till you learn that the MIT research for lab grown plants was fake….

  11. @JAY_Model_1 on November 8, 2024 at 12:40 pm

    This is cool asf and makes me wanna become aomething of these professions

  12. @Bill0102 on November 8, 2024 at 12:41 pm

    I’m taken by this. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and I was truly taken by it. "Mastering Money Mindfulness" by Benjamin Hawk

  13. @veganvocalist4782 on November 8, 2024 at 12:42 pm

    provide the contacts / web addresses so that we can ACT on this info

  14. @rodrigopanachao2234 on November 8, 2024 at 12:43 pm

    Is wood the most sustainable materials? really?

  15. @shyft09 on November 8, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    "Partner Content" you just tricked us all into watching an ad for some start up investments by Lombard Odier Asset Management 👏👏👏 like the one who discovered how to make plastic quicker without using oil. We’re not running out of oil, the problem with plastic is not that we need to make it quicker. Seriously F*ck off FT, this video is a d*ck move

  16. @johntatman8182 on November 8, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    Leave nature alone get humans away from everything that is being destroyed now would help

  17. @flosenmosen on November 8, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    We can truly embrace sustainability by cutting down on mass consumption, avoiding the constant upgrade to new smartphones every two years, choosing locally sourced fruits over those shipped thousands of kilometers on container ships, and refraining from frequent air travel.

  18. @princewindsor6156 on November 8, 2024 at 12:47 pm

    Sustainability is very important especially now more than ever.

  19. @zariefziqri on November 8, 2024 at 12:48 pm

    wont help…

  20. @princewindsor6156 on November 8, 2024 at 12:49 pm

    I for one am doing anything even in the smallest ways for the better of this world and our environment.

  21. @Prity-cs6pm on November 8, 2024 at 12:50 pm

    Seems to be more theoretical

    As a person that invented a unit that makes power let me tell you since 2016 i have learned that solar and wind are the flavor of the month as it were. BUT as the public starts to see that today the only recycling of wind farm blades is to cut them up and bury them or grind them up to powder and added to wet concrete & solar is no better SO THE CLOCK IS TICKING DOWN FOR THAT MARKET

  24. @aaronvallejo8220 on November 8, 2024 at 12:53 pm

    Circular economy achieved through Cradle to Cradle Certified products made with safe and healthy chemicals and designed for disassembly…all powered by renewably powered electricity…is a game changer that needs rapid escalation throughout our global economy.

  25. @AdvantestInc on November 8, 2024 at 12:54 pm

    Impressive overview of sustainable initiatives across sectors! The focus on ethical environmental accounting and conservation efforts highlights the comprehensive strategies needed to achieve a sustainable economy.

  26. @-beehive on November 8, 2024 at 12:55 pm

    Interesting

  27. @JonathanFrost on November 8, 2024 at 12:55 pm

    1 FabricNano
    2 Empire Building Challenge
    3 Making electricity from human-powered steps
    4 Grow wood in a lab
    5 Making affordable fashion sustainable
    6 NCAVES, environmental and ecosystem accounting
    7 InVest has created a set of modelling tools
    8 Costa Rica reversed deforestation

    Before we waste our time and energy let’s go through this quick checklist –

    Is it solving the right problem?
    Is it scientifically viable? Does it obey the known laws of physics?
    Is it technologically viable? Is there a demonstration project working today?
    Is it scalable? Are there resources available for everybody in the world to do this?
    Is it resources viable? Is there a sustainable supply of minerals available?
    Is it land a viable? Is there enough space available without taking away from a forest or agricultural land?
    Is it politically viable? Can it be made acceptable to the general population?

    Links to the original projects would be useful for fact checking

    Thanks

    Any of you all not buying WKHS stock don’t care anything about our planet. EVs are the future!

  34. @Norah-Hobbs on November 8, 2024 at 1:02 pm

    Most mass implementation were delayed because of supply disruption, russia ukraine war, and coming recessioms

    Hey we love this video! I hope you don’t mind that I repost this and tag you 🙂

  41. @exposurepoint-9000 on November 8, 2024 at 1:15 pm

    Informative and much needed..

  42. @MayorMcC666 on November 8, 2024 at 1:16 pm

    this video is such a meme, none of these other than maybe the refitting of old sky scrapers will have an impact

  43. @RonPryd on November 8, 2024 at 1:19 pm

    Growing furniture is insane.

  44. @UnityKnot on November 8, 2024 at 1:21 pm

    It was a splendid presentation and an inspiring way of looking into sustainable solutions! Thank you for the well-structured work.

    This is incredible

    Great Video shame that it has such low views.

  49. @oscarcrespo5660 on November 8, 2024 at 1:27 pm

    Don’t send messages that are wrong! Timber isn’t the driver of deforestation. In most of the largest wood products producing countries forests are growing! Agriculture and land use drive deforestation, not manufacturing of wood products. Replicating in scale in a la what million of hectares of trees do thanks to the sun wont be feasible
