Recyling

Recycling of everything is the obvious end-state of civilization. Its relatively easy to do, even now, but it could be greatly accelerated by some simple government mandates. This would be the following:

• All residential developments should get a significant property tax deduction if they provide a recycling area and contract out a recyling vendor. If people have an easy way to recycle, and are incentivised with monetary rebates to do so, most citizens will happily participate.
• Recyling facilities may have have to be legislated to locations by demand.
• Recyling vendors should be provided with tax incentives to enter the market.
• Engineers should begin working on technical solutions to recyle the energy and metals of existing landfills.

Energy and Telecommuting

Networking and teleconferencing technology makes it possible for most office jobs to be performed from a home office. If companies were to optimize this opportunity it would eliminate a huge chunk of the commuter traffic. This is happening already, just very slowly. Eventually, it will be everyone's reality. Look for a few enlightened companies to lead the way in this arena.

Don't know the numbers, but just think about the energy and pollution savings that could be realized if we could remove all of these vehicle from the daily commuter traffic.

I Don't Believe in Math

I don’t believe in math
It’s made of dreams
Nor physics on the whole
Because it’s just more math with clocks
No equation can prove our existence
Just as no proof can square a dream

Though I am made of dreams
And walk on lines without points, or ends
I still work equations at midnight
Seeking the proof and the sum that no equation can square

Love is an equation without a proof
Nor a single perfect square
The perfect curve of a fingertip
The sums of points on an endless line
Held, like a kite, by a string
