Synopsis
00:00:09 - 00:02:14 When I talk about a positive tipping point\n00:02:14 - 00:05:11 I mean something emotionally positive\n00:05:11 - 00:10:19 a self-propelling, amplifying change in society and technology\n00:10:19 - 00:13:13 and sometimes in our relationship with ecology\n00:13:13 - 00:17:05 that's going to get us towards sustainability faster\n00:17:05 - 00:21:16 So I'm thinking of examples like the tipping point to solar\n00:21:16 - 00:23:08 and wind power dominating\n00:23:14 - 00:27:13 a tipping point to electric mobility, electric vehicles\n00:27:13 - 00:30:10 rather than fossil fueled ones, and a tipping point\n00:30:10 - 00:35:09 to alternative proteins and giving land back to nature
