What Happens When the Low-Hanging Fruit Run Out?

 

“Resources aren’t becoming scarce as much as they’re becoming increasingly problematic – those that were easy to obtain are depleted, and those that are left are difficult, in many respects,” says Michael Klare, the U.S.-based author of such works as Resource Wars and The Race for What’s Left: The Global Scramble for the World’s Last Resources.

 

We love our low-hanging fruit; pursuing simple wins has been common practice for the past quarter century, at least in the West. 

 

But low-hanging fruit eventually run out; if you haven't prepared ways to reach higher, you are doomed to fall those who have planned ahead.

 

Just saying.
