Ecological Debt Day
Attention earthlings! You have officially been given notice.
Globally, we now now require the equivalent of 1.4 planets to support our lifestyles. But of course, we only have one Earth. The result is that our supply of natural resources — like trees and fish — continues to shrink, while our waste, primarily carbon dioxide, accumulates.
The current financial crisis maybe be the least of our problems. It wont matter one bit that the economy slows or stalls if the planet wide ecology ceases to function. Where are are you going to spend all you millions mister rich guy? Mars? I don’t think so.
