- biodomes should be a focus we might need them if we continue to pollute earth existing biodomes and bunkers do not work
- collapse of old technology causes the new civilization to have to start research all over
- we can research the old ways that were successful and setup test societies with different sustainable systems
- such as hunter gatherer or as mentioned no till farming herding and other sustainable agriculture
