20THE COLLAPSE OF THE “HUMANITY” PROJECTthe so-called law of the Ahriya mainyus’ arrow about which we’ll speak in the last part of this book� If we use a chess term, we live in the Zugzwang world, where any our move worsens our positions� Why does it happen? You’ll read about it in the next chapters of the book�ECOLOGICAL ZUGZWANGThere is a rule based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics: there is always more waste than final products� In 1997, a com-puter weighed 25 kg on the average, and when it was made over 60 kg of materials turned into waste (not counting waste from power production and mining)� Currently, computers weigh less, but the product — waste ratio has not changed, only waste has become more toxic� Theoretically, we can treat and process all waste into a useful product, but in practice not every country can find money for that� Or the product made from waste will be so expensive that no one will buy it�The limit in harmful substances’ emissions into the atmos-phere has been reached as well� According to the World Health Organization, 90 % of the people on our Earth breath in the air not satisfying the WHO requirements� Pay attention, we’re not speaking about greenhouse gases like CO2 but exactly about harmful, dangerous for human health foreign matters and con-taminants in the air�And finally, the main limit — the time we have for changes� We’ll tell about that in detail in the chapter dedicated to water resources but now we’ll speak about yield of crops� Let’s take Georgia as an example� This country imports approximately 80 % of food it requires, and they grow only corn in their cli-mate comparable to the American one� Only in the Unites States its yield is 120 hundredweights per ha, and only 20 in Georgia� Approximately the same low yield is in case of beans — about 7 hundredweights� They are grown separately, mostly on fields belonging to small landowners� Low yield does not allow to use corn and beans as fodder for cattle, there is not enough f...
