Two or three decades aren't nearly enough time to achieve this sea change toward sustainability, Omnitir. Two or three centuries might be closer to what's needed, if everyone suddenly started acting cooperatively and rationally right now and MQ's "to do" list was enacted. Even then we face a cliff.
The trends firmly in place now are for things to get worse. Amazon rain forest disappearing, global warming, death of the oceans, energy depletion, groundwater depletion, desertification and droughts---all these massive problems and many more aren't going away any time soon.
And the population keeps growing, which rapidly undermines any slight progress that might be made on some fronts.
Your mentality on the population issue in particular is utterly incomprehensible to me.
What we need is unlimited wisdom, not unlimited energy.
