The Universal Problem Solving Process
1. Identify the patient
2. Describe the symptoms
3. Perform a diagnosis
4. Determine the treatment
5. Apply the treatment
6. Measure the outcome
Solving the Sustainability Problem
With solution failure due to an error in step 2, 3 , or 4
1. Identify the patient
The human system
2. Describe the symptoms
Global environmental unsustainability
3. Perform a diagnosis
Excessive impact in the IPAT equation
A. Find the proper practices
The IPATB.Equation
4. Determine the treatment
Tell the people about them
that fails, exhort and inspire
Impact = Population xC.AIfffluence
x Technology
5. Apply the
treatment
(done)
Population
is total people.
Affluence is consumption per person per year.
Technology is impact per unit of consumption.
6. Measure the outcome
Solution failure
What part of the system is not well?
The environmental movement
An environmentalist is anyone who is actively
helping to solve environmental problems.
- Grassroots activists
- Career professionals in government
- Politicians
- Well known retired vice-presidents
- Academics
- Corporate managers
- Writers
- Famous people
- Many more
Solving the Solution Failure Problem
1. Identify the patient
The environmental movement
2. Describe the symptoms
Unable to solve the sustainability problem
3. Perform a diagnosis
4. Determine the treatment
5. Apply the treatment
6. Measure the outcome
The Collapse of Easter Island
The Same Pattern Continues Today
Solving the Solution Failure Problem
1. Identify the patient
The environmental movement
2. Describe the symptoms
Unable to solve the sustainability problem
3. Perform a diagnosis
Use of the wrong tools on difficult
problems, due to use of Classic Activism.
This causes pushing on low leverage points.
4. Determine the treatment
Use of the right tools on difficult problems,
due to use of Analytical Activism. This will
allow pushing on high leverage points.
5. Apply the treatment

Classic Activism
1. Identify the problem.
2. Find the proper practices.
3. Tell people the truth about the problem
and the proper practices.
4. If that fails, exhort and inspire the people
to support the proper practices.
