Smart Poles also help
with traffic control,
such as decongesting
streets, blocking
streets, rerouting
traffic, and opening
lanes for emergency
vehicles, etc.

71. HERE ARE SOME MORE BABY
STEPS
•Unplug electric devices that are not in use
•Eat more vegetables; eat less red meat
•Throw away less food
•Discourage or prohibit Overseeding (let lawns go
dormant during Fall and Winter months)
•Declutter streets by restricting traffic or closing certain
streets
•Implement more green spaces; plant more trees

€2.4 billion annually to
the national economy.

Time for transformation!
Prof. Phillip Andrews

76. 76
In order to achieve this,
one must see the world
with fresh eyes and
understand the value of
Nature.
Nature should not be
treated like one’s living
room, where everything
is clean and organized
to please the owners’
eyes.
Actually, Nature is
prettier than most living
rooms.

•ImplementSmart Mobility
•Utilizing EVs, vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells or
solar panels, flying taxis, drone delivery systems,
intelligent traffic signals, smart parking, automated toll
collection, integrated ticketing systems, smart
surveillance and road safety, real-time information
systems and alerts, predictive maintenance on all
vehicles, riding bikes and scooters to work, “smart
walking”, etc.

A highway in India is built several feet above the
jungle floor to allow wild animals to cross sides w/o
problems.A biophilic garage roof enhances nature's influence by reducing CO2, cooling the temperature around the garage, and offering a pleasant view of the parking lot.

88. MORE ADVANCED STEPS
•Avoidcorporationsand their products and/or services
that oppose Climate Change actions, regulations, and
guidelines. Greenwashingis prevalent, especially
among oil and coal companies.
•Apply LEED Certification Standards to buildings
•Adopt and Encourage Biophilic Designs
•Implement Smart Communities/Cities

105. Finally, 4 Pieces Of Advice

#1
Start
Spreading
the wisdom
of what is at
stake and
what needs
to be done
(at
galleries, shows,
conferences,
museums …
schools)
.
Prof. Phillip Andrews

106. 106

107. 107
#2Educate the young. They are more open-minded
and receptive than older folks.
Prof. Phillip Andrews
My grandson Logan, age 9, in the UK, is already talking
about becoming an Environmentalist Lawyer to help society
migrate faster to a better environment!

108. 108

Education
does not mean
offering one
lecture.
It means
transforming
and enhancing
our Education
System!!!
Prof. Phillip Andrews

109. 109
See the special presentation and the conclusions reached by the special
project team funded by NSF regarding what courses are needed for the
next generation. Over 400 Community Colleges in 36 States
participated. Time to change the outdated Education System.

People need constant reminders that the world is changing
because there are new ways of living and experiencing life,
new ways of dealing with Mother Nature, and new benefits
from biodiversity and environmentalism. We need to apply all
the techniques of Transformation Management to have a
successful and orderly transition from the old to the new
world. We must educate and transform our culture in order
to have a successful and orderly transition from the old to the
new world. We must educate, transform our culture (incl.
values and beliefs), and reward progress and positive actions.
And remember that all social change begins with a
conversation.
So, let’s start conversing!
Prof. Phillip Andrews

112. 112
Maybe it’s time to re-
introduce Smokey The
Bearand flood the
media with messages of
Sustainability, Smart
Living … and Smart
Health!
Public Service
Announcements work.
Prof. Phillip Andrews

113. 113
Resistance to change
has killed many other
good ideas and
initiatives in the past.
We cannot allow that
to happen again.
Governments need the willpower and guts to insist on transformation.
Otherwise, we will end up with the messes we have witnessed in the
past, including the failure to migrate to the Metric System, the War on
Drugs, and the UK’s rejectionof driving on the right side of the road,
accepting the Euro and staying in the European Union (Brexit).
“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”George Carlin
Also, look at how many years it took to convince the public to wear
safety belts. It actually took the threat of penalties to help society
transform.
Penalties and rewards work.
