Abstract

This paper compares ways of life in the Congo Basin to uranium pellets stacked together into fuel rods, whose fission generates immense heat that turns water into steam to spin a turbine that generates electricity. In other words, people’s ways of life in the Congo Basin can generate powerful sustainability means to improve local living conditions and protect local living environment. Protecting Congo Basin environment will result in planet sustainability. It is suggested in this paper that world resources for fighting climate change be used to stimulate ways of life in the Congo Basin to become powerful D. sustainability means for the planet. Currently, most resources to combat climate change are spent in developed countries, while ways of life in the Congo Basin as means for planet sustainability are ignored. No wonder why, to date, efforts to fight climate change bear little to no good result. This paper suggests a novel approach that urges the world to focus on ensuring that ways of life in the Congo Basin translate into means that improve local living conditions and protect local rainforest that sustains the global environment.
