Sustainability of Food & Energy Production

Image: Our World In Data

Hannah Richie wrote a great piece for Works In Progress on some natural assumptions and contradictions we have when thinking about the environmental sustainability of food and energy production. Did you know that the production of chocolate causes almost as much land use change as beef farming, or that energy production from coal causes 613 times as many deaths as nuclear power? This article is full of assumption breaking facts.

The Peter Principle

Check out this great video (with super graphics) from the BBC Archives of an interview with Dr Laurence J. Peter, who coined the Peter Principle. I did not know it was meant to be expressed as satire while describing a very real phenomenon.
