 vvD9.\n\n*Abstract:*\n\nThe industrial system extracts most resources\, em
 its about 30% of greenhouse gasses\, and emits local pollutants. Without t
 he industrial system we would not have bricks for our homes\, or anaesthet
 ic for our dentistry\, or ...\n\nSo how do we build a new industrial syste
 m that delivers useful products without the negative effects? Steve will e
 xplore the root causes of the negative effects and offer solutions that ar
 e not techno-optimistic. The rigidity of our mental models plays a role\, 
 and we will explore the strategy of 'stop doing stupid stuff' as a breakth
 rough way forward.\n\n*Speaker profile:*\n\nSteve Evans is Director of Res
