Closing Keynote
summary
Argues that digital growth collides with planetary limits and gives concrete numbers and policies: 1.5 billion devices sold last year, hidden supply-chain harms like Coltan from conflict zones, and the energy oddity that an avatar in Second Life uses as much energy as a Costa Rican. Recommends legally enforced circular design like Cradle to Cradle, cites a Brazilian food-security law that cuts child mortality 75% at ~2% city budget, and warns that the cost of non-use of renewables exceeds $3 trillion per year.
