"Are We Ready for Zero Carbon Buildings?" 

From this article here https://sourceable.net/zero-carbon-buildings-but-are-we-ready/# 
  
In the article, Dr Prasad says that are two main barriers to achieving these zero carbon buildings, economics and attitude.

They are pretty weak barriers, if you ask me. It is disappointing to think that Governments and organisations can't get their priorities sorted to make these affordable changes that will have enormous long term benefits. Prasad says that nearly $17 trillion could be saved if an effort was made for low carbon cities by 2050!!!!!! THAT"S ENORMOUS! Come on Governments, do something.

Sometimes I feel that making those sort of changes comes down to the "they're not doing it, so why should we do it". The feeling that someone making a change is so insignificant that it is not worth doing.


Hopefully that attitude changes.
