Quote by Paul Hawken
We assume that everything's becoming more efficient, and in an immediate sense that's true our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources.
Summary
This quote highlights the contradiction between the perceived efficiency and the actual consequences of our progress. While it may seem that advancements have made our lives more efficient and better, this progress has come at the expense of depleting natural resources. We often overlook the inefficient and unsustainable ways in which these advancements are achieved. Our focus on immediate benefits blinds us to the long-term consequences, reminding us that true efficiency should consider the preservation and responsible use of our natural resources.
