Metro Hippie’s 5 Eco-Villains Pollution Health Capital Apathy Inefficiency

Eco-Villain 1_ Pollution

Oh No! 99% of stuff that is mined, purchased and used ends up in a landfill within 6 months.

Three Re’s_ Duce, Use, Cycle

Mother Earth Wants you off the Bottle!

Discounting the Future PV = FV / ( 1+i ) n PV - Present Value FV - Future Value i - Discount Rate n - # of Time Units PV = $10,000,000 / (1+.03)10 = $10,000,000 / 1.34 = $7,440,940

Positive rates of inflation diminish the purchasing power of dollars over time.

Dollars can be invested today, earning a positive rate of return.

There is uncertainty surrounding the ability to obtain promised future income.

Humans generally prefer instant gratification to waiting for long-term benefits.

Anna Shelander , Owner at WorldView Creative Fresh approach to an often-confusing topic. Use of Eco-Villains puts perspective on where we EACH can make change and have impact. Are others’ feeling of Apathy what you can help change? Can I help my family recognize the villainous effects Capitalism and Greed are having on our shared Earth? Can your friend help promote efficiencies at his work? How about if your neighbor calls her city out for not promoting an effective Recycling program? Together we CAN save the world. Our children's world as is so perfectly put here! Thanks for all that you are doing. 2 years ago
