5.  Capital Loops

6. ????
PARK HYATT
How to break the Loops

7. Non-
emitting
capital
(which is
huge in
case of
the
Upper
income’s
Loop)
BUT, next
thing to
consider:
giving
money to
lower
income
classes
isn’t
exactly a
solution

8. Emission
Emission
Capital
ratio
When
we’re
having to
deal with
both
emission
and
money,
we can’t
just focus
on this
But THIS
(The richer the more emission one produces)
(The poorer the more emission
PER DOLLAR one produces)

9. The richer the more emission one produces (Obvious)

10. So we have to find the EXACT DIRECTIONs
to break the Loops, NOT just a money
downfall from the rich to the poor, and if
so, EXACTLY how much, by assigning the
numbers, and solve the equations:
Wealth distribution for 3 income classes
Emission, emission:capital ratio, what’s more!?

11. Maybe we can use the data on WASTE production

12. Data on WASTE and
EMISSION are highly
correlated

18. OECD’s ranking by waste production

19. Look how closely inequality
is lately to waste production
Therefore, moving left and reducing inequality may result in
reduction in waste along with emission

22. EXPANSION: further and deeper income
class division, more and more parameters
