Dream a little! Imagine a world in the year 2065 where society has successfully made a switch to sustainable living. What would a sustainable city look like? How about a sustainable small town? A self-sustaining Mars colony? You can assume that technology has made major developments that can be extrapolated from today, but we will not consider major disruptive changes such as the Singularity which are hard to predict & assess. I recommend completing Unit 14 before posting.

Post an answer by 11:59pm on Wednesday, August 5th, 2015. Then post one followup comment on another student's answer by noon on Friday, August 7th, 2015.

I imagine that in 2065 the world will indeed be a much different place, and a place where everything we do is in a sustainable manner, and any resources we use will be renewable. I also would like to think that by then we will have a colony on mars that is also self sustaining. This would be an amazing thing to be accomplished by people, and a way to really prove how we have mastered being sustainable. I think all cities will be modeled after the new city of Melbourne where everything will be self sufficient sustainable, and green. I think this will be a amazing thing to see, everyone will need to work together to achieve this goal, making the world a better place. Rileytc197 (talk) 12:27, 3 August 2015 (EDT)

  • So you would follow the Melbourne example? What specifics do you like about the Melbourne model that you would like to see replicated elsewhere? Martin A. Walker (talk) 13:01, 3 August 2015 (EDT)
