Winnie Yah, the Lead of Responsible Sourcing for the World Economic Forum, foresees a need for a lot more minerals if we are to get to net zero. To get this clean energy revolution off the ground, she believes the biggest bang comes with terminating or restricting the private ownership of cars.
The WEF agrees that we can recycle or mine minerals, but the route we must take to complete the circular economy is to go from owning to using. It’s not only cars. It’s basically everything. The plan is to design cars and cities around sharing in lieu of ownership.
These people make up nonsensical terms like ‘circular economy,‘ and the terms are simply created out of whole cloth by academics to fit their worldview. Restricting everything the peasants do is their main objective. The circular economy depends on it.
According to the elites, we barely use our cars, especially the English. Yah writes, Most are barely driven, and a universal model that will take consumers “from owning to using” their cars is the way forward.
They want you to sell your car and walk or car share.
Car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have already seized that opportunity to offer vehicles where you pay per hour used.
They give an example. Car sharing is made possible by new keyless unlocking features. A design process that focuses on fulfilling the underlying need instead of designing for product purchasing is fundamental to this transition. This is the mindset needed to redesign cities to reduce private vehicles and other usages.
They also suggest people buy durable products that they only need to buy once. Remanufacturing old products is another priority. They are talking about restricting everything that gives pleasure and advances society.
Who gave these people the authority to make these determinations? Why do they keep their private jets, yachts, and mansions?
The IEA called for a 10-point plan back in March, as reported by Breitbart, to lower demand for fossil fuels now that we’re starting a war with Russia. Some of their ideas are to get an EV, but they didn’t explain how we keep them on the road after they destroy electricity which runs on fossil fuels. Other suggestions are to walk, take public transport, ride a bike, don’t drive on Sunday, work from home three days a week, share your car, take a train, avoid business travel and so on.
Who are these people to come up with a 10-point plan for the world? Get lost.
The Progressives are actually de-growth Regressives, but not for themselves, just you and I, the peasants. If they have to exaggerate a pandemic or start a war or two to make it happen, so be it.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha…… Either that was a bad joke or the woman is truly a psychopath. They’ll change their tune if humanity starts taking out the criminals who profess it is their right to control us. What they truly fear and why so many countries do not allow their citizens to own firearms. America’s future was secured… Read more »
It isn’t the environment or resources that concern the Left; it’s the freedom of citizens to come and go as they please. Once everyone must use electric cars, Big Brother can control where you go, when you go, and who you go to see. They can also disable your car remotely to punish you, and can ration how much you… Read more »
The otherwise hidden side to that is they’ll never admit they hate the poor or low-income and consider any person being so a crime. WEF consist of soulless dark-web fiends who thrive on creating misery and defeat for self-benefit since none of us in the world’s populations would gain in any form or fashion from their twisted and profiteering demands.… Read more »
The Declaration of Independence and the UWS Constitution set a standard for the individual. Individualism is the antithesis of the New World Order. M Dowling is among those who stand up for and espouse for the type of individualism and freedoms that made the USA great. Like the later generation of many wealthy families, those who did not help create… Read more »
I’m one of those nasty people the World Economic Forum talks about. I drive maybe 6,000 miles a year. I’ll probably keep my truck for 25 or 30 years. So let’s really look at what the WEF is advocating. Shared Cars! So instead of just hopping in my truck and going into town, they are pushing for Centralized Control. If… Read more »
The average Lib-in-the-street never thinks anything through, but the Libs-In-Charge definitely have thought it all through–and this is one more way to make their tyranny stronger and prevent any dissent or revolt. FOREVER! If you talk against Big Brother, he will withhold travel privileges for a week, a month, a year, or forever. By then, bicycle traffic is forbidden and… Read more »
the article says they want you to sell your car or truck. the buyer will still be driving it so whats the good?
Except that they don’t actually want you to sell your car, they want to confiscate it. And living in the sticks won’t be a problem either, as they want to ban rural living as well, confining everyone but themselves to tiny apartments in the cities.
