Earth Day and (radical) Sustainability

(For my general thoughts on the issue of climate change and what we should be doing, see the post below.)
A friend sent me an article that proposes the radical notion of scanning and uploading our brains into computers so that we can be truly sustainable. I recommend reading this because I assume it will be "something completely different" from the proposals and ideas to which you are accustomed to hearing. I'm not promoting the view, nor do I understand all the numbers bandied about, but there is useful content.
The article helped me realize how powerful technology is and how inefficient our ways of consuming energy are.
