Expanding on the previous meeting we began talk of how this future scenario would function. If the world did started to change, how would it effect:
If fossil fuels have been cut the mining industry of Australia will crash, as the country adapts to renewable energy resources. Solar collectors will harvest power for cars and buildings. Concepts of how the environment would change lead us to the idea that the Brisbane river may flood more, beaches will also be effected and possibly the marine life within the waters.
- resources/economy
- the environment
- people
- politics.
If the ozone did thin more how will it affect the people living in that time? Existing buildings would be forced to change. Sustainable green design would become the norm passive designs are common place now. As UV rays are harsher, Skin cancer will be on the rise. All glass is now UV filtered and populated outdoor areas have more structural shading which adapt to allow safe light at different times of the day.
As for the government, laws restricting the use of fossil fuels, combined with government incentives to use and gather renewable energy has allowed 2060 Brisbane to become a eco-friendly city.
