Plan B Ch 1-3, 10

The first chapter in Plan B focuses on decaling natural resources that are becoming scarce, and the impact it will have on the world and its inhabitants. "I  resisted the idea that food shortages could also bring down our early twenty first century global civilization. But our continuing failure to reverse the environmental trends that are undermining the world food economy forces me  to conclude that if we continue with business as usual such a collapse is not only possible but likely". This quote sets the standard for the rest of the book and it sums up why we need a Plan B.  Plan B is a "goal to move the world from the current decline and collapse path onto a new path where food security can be restored and civilization can be sustained". With Plan B the fear that Brown had on the first page is now assured that there will be change in the world economy forces.  The 4 different aspects of plan b include, decreasing carbon dioxide by 80%, restoring the natural systems, eradicating poverty, and stabilizing the population at 8 billion or lower. These 4 different aspect all intertwine together as each thing covers its own unique area but have an affect on the other components of plan b. To decrease carbon dioxide, our  natural systems will need to be restored, but for that to happen population  needs to be stabilized  and so forth. I believe that these are 4 great components and if executed properly can indeed reach their goals. It is a process that I do see taking many years with how society is today but if the government and major corporations can alter their ways this is an issue that can be a thing of the past, With wind powered turbines to create energy and more cars using electricity, the price of gas will go down drastically and will be able to get more bang for your buck with 150 miles per gallon at less than a 1$ a gallon. This is a future that I think America needs, so I agree with plan b and hope that it comes to fruition.
