Gosh, 2040 really knew how to end the #BCM325 session. It's so beautiful that we get to step away from our live-tweeting with ideas of how we can improve our future! Thank you, everyone, for tuning in today and for all the other previous sessions!

I hope that Damon Gameau's little girl gets to watch this back when she's in her 50's and feels like her dad was right on at least some things.

@SalvioLuke @LeilaMaciel20 'A feasibility study of 100 percent renewable electricity systems across MENA- found that relinquishing fossil fuels in favor of generation based mainly on solar and wind could help cut costs by between 55 percent and 69 percent compared to a business-as-usual scenario' #BCM325

#bcm325 Call me a pessimist but I don’t think anything is gonna change unless we actually rethink our whole system. It’s beautiful to talk about regenerative agriculture but powerful people benefit from industrial ag. The world economy depends on that. The problem is in politics

#BCM325 If the representation of 'environmentally friendly actions' were seen more in popular culture, then if Marshalls idea that popular media is 'material we use in the presentation of our public selves,' then won't we view these actions as necessary for us individually?

I completely agree that 'people just want to switch off;' so the question is, how do we get them to switch back on, to want to face this and their lifestyle, and to agree with a need for change?

Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture which optimises plant growth, and soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. https://t.co/2hewXcOUDu #bcm325

Did you know one 250g steak is equivalent to an 11 and a half hour shower or filling two whole hot tubs?? Or that 70% of the worlds water is used by animal production?!? You can learn more about it in my blog https://t.co/qzBAMCD0dh #bcm325

@_tgoldsmith @jmayfarrington @mylifeisajokexx Omg I didn't know this, yes hopefully it is classified in the same field!

[Jess McVicar @jessmmcv]

@imogen_44 Hopefully, with increased activity through the recent and future petitions and protests (compared to the past 20 years), we end up being more productive! #bcm325

[Jess McVicar @jessmmcv]

@jmayfarrington @mylifeisajokexx @_tgoldsmith Hopefully, we do move further towards electric cars. I agree that hybrids are an amazing entryway to this! #BCM325

[Jess McVicar @jessmmcv]

@jmayfarrington @mylifeisajokexx I think in the Wollongong area there are three current charging stations, but @_tgoldsmith I agree with you, if more people showed interest and owned electric cars this would obviously increase #BCM325

[Jess McVicar @jessmmcv]

@__nicolepap Yes, I really like the diagrammatic explanations! I feel like they are visually executing a simple explanation of how the networks could work from the one basic source. Which makes his ideas feel realistic #BCM324

[Julia May @jmayfarrington]

#BCM325 Seeing that pretend news headline about Australia having a renewable energy boom is bittersweet. I can only hope... oh, and vote. That's important.

[Jess McVicar @jessmmcv]

@TheeFloydy Yes, and because of this, it's important to be moving forward now rather than later! #BCM325

[Jess McVicar @jessmmcv]

#bcm325 If '2040' addresses where we could be in 2040 if we started making conscious decisions when the film was made (2019), then how behind are we already 1 year later? Very or hardly?

A microgrid is a local energy grid with control capability, which means it can disconnect from the traditional grid and operate autonomously.
