already exists (eg connection)

• Already strong LOCAL green agenda

– Reduce carbon footprint

– Minimise food miles

• Battening down hatches won’t fix big issues

• Can do LOCAL work on GLOBAL problems

• Let’s not shut the door on a local opportunity

because it will have global impact

Gorshkov & Makarieva

• Global carbon cycle

• Forests are not only the world’s

lungs, but also its heart

• Logged coastal trees for

shipbuilding

• Continents turned into deserts

• Need to restore coastal forests

Kickstart

• Oil supertankers travel from deserts

• Return with seawater ballast

• We dump sewage off coasts through “outfall pipes”

• Could turn sand back into soil + irrigate & nourish coastal tree belts

• (Recovers capacity by dissolving tar residue)

Agroforestry

• 8% of world’s land

productive, could be 75%

• Trees+crops � 10 times the

yield of monocultures

• � Earth could be 100 times

as fruitful

must extend influence or face decline

– “must build its influence in Europe ”

– “The real economic action in the world has

been taking place in Brazil and India and

China and the Gulf states and those are the

places to which we have to connect

ourselves much more strongly than we have

ever tried to do before." .
