What if that reconfiguration resulted in a sustainable circular pattern of waste material utilization, manufacturing conversion, and production of thousands of high performance, environmentally superior, non-toxic, cradle-to-cradle compliant, clean and healthy products and systems. What if we had a core composite material conversion technology that would enable that reconfiguration.” Leif Thomas Olsen: “… backcasting is not concerned with predicting the future; rather, it is a strategic problem-solving framework, in the quest for the answer to how to reach specified outcomes in the future. This involves finding ways of linking goals that may lie more than a generation in the future to a set of steps performed now and designed to achieve that end… In backcasting, one envisions a desirable future endpoint and then works backward to determine what programs would be required to attain that specified future or to construct a plausible causal chain leading from here to there. …” Christiana Figueres: “We will move to a low-carbon world because nature will force us, or because policy will guide us. If we wait until nature forces us, the cost will be astronomical.”
