Philosophers' Café
Sustainable invention
Creative activity often requires consumable material resources. For example, the invention of email has reduced our use of paper, but the computers we use are made with materials that are in short supply, were likely obtained under politically and environmentally problematic circumstances, and/or are not recyclable. Can we minimize the ecological imprint of our inventiveness and pursue creative activity without consuming more than our fair share of the world's resources?
