The Techno-Process
The techno-process (see the sustainability challenge ) describes the manner in which we take resources from the environment around us, how we manipulate and make materials out of what we take and what we waste. It is the physical interface of the anthropogenic economic system. Our techno-process is out of sync with nature and results in underlying molecular flows that affect earth systems. These underlying molecular flows should mimic or minimally interfere with natural flows.
The Techno-Process
The Techno process has detrimental affects on Earth Systems.
The Detrimental Affects of the Techno-Process
Underlying the techno-process that describes and controls the flow of matter and energy are molecular stocks and flows. If out of tune with nature these moleconomic flows have detrimental affects on earth systems.
Moleconomics
To reduce the impact on earth systems new technical paradigms need to be invented that result in underlying molecular flows that mimic or at least do not interfere with natural flows and that support rather than detrimentally impact on life.
