The two are so tightly linked that we will not solve the global financial crisis until we start to think of using resources more efficiently and sustainably.

Our growing dependence on these finite resources for new technology will only deepen the financial crisis as prices increase exponentially. A potential battleground for the future has been laid, as these resources get more and more scarce. Planet RE:think investigates where we are failing and gives hope for our future on a planet with finite resources.
