Abstract

This model demonstrates one way of conceptualizing the issue of climate change, our most serious problem. Perhaps it will be useful for others to apply within their own professions. Everything comes from Energy, a familiarly used concept meaning “that which powers.” Sources of energy can be nteracting -Human, Machine, Nature or all interacting - areas of the environment like the Sun or Wind. When humans lived n the trees eighty million years ago that interaction increased the facility of hand/eye coordination. Later these skills were adapted to hunting and gathering which led to the creation of tools from found objects, such as stone and wood,used to cultivate the earth for food and building, helping to achieve permanence of place and sustainability. The most unpredictable impact of these developments were not the tools, nor the development of the male strength needed to use them but the very process of creating, which expanded human left -brain capacity.
