At CAT there was some interesting work and ideas of alternative building design that I found quite appealing, and effective for its purpose of reducing it carbon foot print on the energy needed to produce the materials used and the result of how efficiently they work.
These are good ideas themselves and maybe effective in the long run, but as said in one of the talks, even if we became efficient enough to reduce our carbon emissions to even 0 it would take about 50 years for it to take effect on the globe.
This would be very difficult to achieve with our kind of infrastructure and economy based on consumerism, it would then cripple most businesses.
