Episode Summary: What if we stop using fossil fuel and all its derived products today? What would happen? How would the world operate?
We know that we urgently need to break our dependency on fossil fuels if we want to tackle climate change.
But the world we live in today is addicted to fossil fuels and derived products altogether.
If we decide to stop using it abruptly, let’s say at 11:59 tonight, how can the world operate? can we survive? are we ready for such a shift?
By raising this bold question, Olabanji triggered an interesting discussion on topics ranging from economics, healthcare or priority.
We did not agree on a commonly agreed conclusion, but this discussion showed the benefit of asking questions and reframing the question to help us move forward.
