sustainable in order that things become sustainable. It’s like that saying, if you dream it
you will build it, or something like that. It’s so common for sci fi writers to focus on
space wars, or destruction. Maybe that’s the wrong approach to spark change.
And maybe sci fi movies with good intentions (for the environment) have spurred
consumption…I bet after watching the Silent Running movie, everyone wanted a
circular pool table or some of the other technology that was presented
(and then someone builds it, and it becomes marketable).
