Ecological Crisis Timeline: Difference between revisions

Everyday, by doing nothing or by being ineffective we are purchasing yet another lottery ticket for a new disaster. Looking out of the window you can already see 40C temperatures in London, water shortages on the West coast of the US and major famines raging through Asia and Africa. But, as these issues are not on our doorstep, like the film "[[wikipedia:Don't_Look_Up|''Don't look up'']]", we carry on business as usual.  

However, if the lowest rung of [[Maslow's hierarchy]] for any populace is disturbed such as lack of '''food''' or '''water''' this can set off a series of events which will affect everyone in a country. For instance, if there are mass crop failures our “''Just in Time''” delivery, system adopted by the vast majority of businesses to reduce cost, means most stores only keep 3 days' worth of food on site, meaning we are only nine meals from a catastrophe.
