      If I could, I’d fix it so we weren’t so dependent on cars. When oil gets more scarce and expensive we’re in for a nasty shock, and if we had built our cities for walking and hadn’t shut so many railways we would probably be able to cope with it a lot better.

      I would like to somehow change the way that people have come to define themselves by what they buy and own. I think people are becoming more preoccupied with their smart phones than with their friends, loved ones and neighbours.

    I would like to find a way to factor the costs for depletion of natural resources (and the production of waste) into the price of goods and services from the very beginning of trade onwards.

      I think there are people working on trying to estimate a price for ‘ecosystem services’ to try and charge governments and companies that use resources based on this, but obviously there’s a lot of resistance! I agree it should have been done at the very beginning of trade…
