Our Changing Times: Communication

This is the fifth in the series “Our Changing Times”. It is about how we are starting to alter our way of living in response to global climate change.Last time we talked about how there is a tread away from centralization and towards a more distributed system of supply and consumption. While this may seem to increase dollar and carbon costs to the supplier it greatly reduces the same costs to the consumer.

One other change that is accelerating due to global warming is how we communicate.
