Every year on #April #22, #Earth #Day marks the #anniversary of the #birth of the modern #environmental #movement in 1970. We are honoring Earth Day with the #futurist #Buckminster #Fuller (1895-1983), an American #architect, #systems #theorist, #author, #designer, #inventor and #philosopher. Fuller believed human societies would soon rely mainly on #renewable #sources of #energy, such as #solar- and #wind-derived #electricity.

Fuller developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known #geodesic #dome; #carbon #molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic #spheres.

#Firenados in northern #California. #Ocean #fires in the #GulfofMexico. #Subway #waterfalls in #NewYorkCity. A #heat #dome in the #Northwest #melting #power #cables, killing hundreds and #frying #marine #animals. I have been told that combatting #climatechange is #expensive. Compared to what?’

‘If we do not act #boldly and #radically to combat the #climate #crisis, and significantly invest in #transforming our #energy #systems now, #future #generations will never #forgive us.’
