It became clear to me at 58. I would have to learn new tricks that were not taught to me in the military manuals

must become an expert in a whole new set of skills. General George Marshall

In times of rapid change, the learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

Concluding Remarks

  • Recognise that the UK is no longer a manufacturing nation, but we

are a major consuming nation.

  • We may not have many of the scarce materials as indigenous natural

resources, but they do pass through our hands as consumers.

  • Decide what the national strategy is – Are we addressing Material

Security (a strategic political issue) or Material Scarcity (a supply chain, commercial issue).

  • We may need to scrap the current systems of waste management

and do things differently – even to the extent of ignoring the revised Waste Framework Directive.

  • The current waste system can be converted into a proper resource

management system, but we must have “total material capture” and energy recovery.

  • Government should not introduce regulation that limits technological

development, as in the end only technology will solve the problem.
