Chinese Eco-Cities

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the a-friend-in-green-is-a-friend-indeed dept.

opencity writes "The Guardian is reporting on a deal by Arups, a British consulting firm, to build four eco-cities in China. The cities are to be self-sufficient in energy, water and most food products, with the aim of zero emissions of greenhouse gases in transport systems. The press release hints at some of the technology."

    1) China is developing at a rapid pace -- if things continue on the present course they'll be the worlds biggest eco-disaster no matter what scale you measure by... probably in as little as a generation or two.


    Well duh.


    2) If everyone in the States multiplied until there were more than a billion citizens, and if the lifestyles remained as they are now, then the States would be an even bigger eco-disaster than China might ever hope to be.


    Well duh.
