State of Science: ergonomics and global issues tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
Yup. And the converse is true too. If we resolve problems in one area it can have knock-on effects for other areas. xitter.cf/DrGetafix/status/93493…
Humans and the environment are a complex system. Problems in one area, leads to problems in others. #sustainable #ergonomics #HFESA2017
Actually, my figures were a bit off here, it’s 4.8 earths, but the point is still made - the number is bigger than we have. Frighteningly, my personal footprint (if everyone was to live like me) is 5.3 earths (mostly air travel) xitter.cf/DrGetafix/status/93492…
If everyone lived like Australians, we’d need 7 earths! The rich have caused the problems, so have the moral responsibility and the means to fix it. #sustainable #ergonomics #HFESA2017
It’s easy, we just have to apply HFE to the issues xitter.cf/DrGetafix/status/93492…

Makes you feel hope when there are white kids out there who can think like this. xitter.cf/TherealLungsta/status/…
one of the freedom fighters who was arrested in Parliment yesterday.We need more white people like him #JHBShutDown
Student Ns have increased by government decree but subsidy/student has fallen over the last 10 yrs. Unsustainable xitter.cf/pierredevos/status/656…
