It is because of the industrial revolution and our increase in commodities that our emissions have grown so fast.
So it seems that it is because of technology that we are at this environmental crisis, however it is technology that
can help us get out of it as well. Technology of our times involves COMMUNICATION.
The better we communicate the better we are able to collaborate.
LEAPFROGGING is when a 3rd World Nation or Developing Nation is able to get the latest
technology in the market without bothering to buy the old used gadgets that are outdated in
the 1st world countries. All around the world we are starting to see people getting CEL phones.
This type of technology, the internet, network, independence from mainstream media/TV and
collaborative efforts through technology will be able to unite us and our efforts towards a sustainable future.
