The Philosophy of Terracopia

Recently the attention of the worldwide community has been diverted by global warming and carbon footprints. Carbon credits have been introduced as a mechanism to embed “carbonism” within the established commercial system, in such a way that companies can buy or trade their way out of their perceived environmental responsibilities. This charade is already collapsing and the real imperatives are re-emerging. Global Warming is only a part of environmental sustainability.   Terracopia will drive users and consumers to preserve our environment and leave resources for our descendants to use, by:

  • Using Fewer Things
  • Making Things Last Longer
  • Recycling wherever possible
  • Making manufacturers accountable for what they produce and how they produce it.

Equally as important will be Terracopia’s relentless pressure on manufacturers and providers to:

  • Adopt “Cradle to Cradle” design disciplines.
  • Provide for Recycling and Reuse of Components
  • Design and Construct Things to Last Longer
  • Bring on game-changing new products by applying genuine and holistic environmental design principles, without compromise or concealment
  • Conserve Biomass and Protect Species
  • Embrace clean and green energy and force the decarbonisation of freight and transportation

By using Terracopia, people will come to appreciate the value of the above philosophy. The middle button below continues the story. The left hand button will take you to the Relevance section and the right hand button will take you to the Investment section.

Headlines

  • Copper

    There is enough copper to last us another 88 years at current rates of consumption and recycling.

  • Oil

    Taking into account both discovered and undiscovered oil, there will be enough to last for another 26,500 days at our current rate of consumption. Oil cannot be recycled, once it is burned.

  • Atmospheric Carbon

    Atmospheric Carbon and other Greenhouse Gasses are compromising the earth’s ability to cool itself, causing mean surface temperatures to rise. The accumulation of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere is trapping 0.12% of incoming solar radiation.

  • Atlantic Mackerel

    Although North Sea Cod is still in crisis (biomass is one third of its 1964 level), Atlantic Mackerel staged a great recovery in recent decades. Prior to the collapse of Atlantic Mackerel stocks in 1976, the peak biomass had been 1.7 million tonnes in 1972. In 2004, after severe measures had been implemented by the US Government, stocks had bounced back to 2.3 million tonnes. If we know, we can act.

  • Biodiversity

    Biomass is the engine of the earth, converting the sun's energy into food, materials and sub systems to sustain life and circulate nutrients. Mankind is eroding this engine at an alarming rate and dispensing with known and unknown bits of it, without heed to how the function of the engine is affected.
