Bring the Food
• The world has entered an era of “peak food” production with an array of staples from corn and rice to wheat and chicken slowing in growth – with potentially disastrous consequences for feeding the planet.
• New research finds that the supply of 21 staples, such as eggs, meat, vegetables and soybeans is already beginning to run out of momentum, while the global population continues to soar.
• Peak chicken was in 2006, while milk and wheat both peaked in 2004 and rice peaked way back in 1988, according to new research from Yale University, Michigan State University and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Germany.

Bring the Water
• Only 0.6% of Planet Earth is H20
• 97% of H20 is salt and 2% is frozen (melting)
• Brazil has 14% of the world’s fresh water and only 2% of the world’s population, but biggest city, Sao Paolo has water rationing, and still only 60 days supply.
• China has 22% of world’s population but only 7% of the water. Switching to potatoes.
It’s time for a revolution.
It’s time for a glass of fresh air.

• 20% of humanity, over 1.2 billion people, have no electric light at night.
• Kerosene is toxic carcinogen and causes fires
• Over 80% of global energy is from fossil fuels
• $2 trillion in annual subsides, according to IMF
• Solar photovoltaics, the end product of Albert Einstein’s 1905 paper that won 1921 Nobel Prize, have improved price performance 5,300 times since 1973. 12,000x by 2020.
Bring the LIGHT
• Simple strategy: replace streetlights with solar trees, making charging of Tesla and other EV’s, plus mobile phones and electric scooters, free and ubiquitous.
• Tony Seba (Stanford) projects a $24,000 self-driving EV by 2020, or sooner. Each will displace 15 internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Car market will collapse and shift from 72 M ICE vehicles to 6-8 million SD EV by 2030. End of oil.

Bring the BIOSPHERE
Bring the BIOSPHERE
• Existential Threats to EarthA. Gamma ray burst - imagine a giant laser burning away one half of the earth, including the atmosphere. We would all die.
• B. Giant meteor strike - imagine a rock the size of Texas hitting earth. We would all die, even if from the smoke.
• C. Nuclear war/nuclear winter: There are still over 30,000 nuclear warheads in Russia (who think America is evil) and America (who think Russia, Pakistan, China, and Iran are evil) and if they were used, just the ashes and smoke from the fires could cool the earth enough to - you guessed it - kill us all.
• D. Global warming - James Lovelock, the person who coined the term, "Gaia hypothesis", has said we are terraforming Earth...to become Venus. The surface temperature of Venus is over 900 degrees. That's enough to, well, kill us all.
