amuel Alexander has written
on The Conversation on a topic which
he believes “only the brave should read.”
The research fellow from the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute at University of Melbourne discusses our ecological footprint, and
the news is not good.
Basing his comments on recent research, he says humanity as
a whole is currently in ecological overshoot, demanding one and a half planet’s
worth of Earth’s biocapacity.
“As the global population continues its trend toward 11
billion people, and while the growth fetish continues to shape the global
economy, the extent of overshoot is only going to increase,” he writes.
Read his views - “If everyone lived in an ‘ecovillage’, the Earth would still be in trouble”.
