| More | Global Footprint Network is changing how the world manages its natural resources. Everyone should be able to look forward to a bright future where we all thrive within the regenerative capacity of our planet. However, our economies are currently running a fraudulent Ponzi (or pyramid) scheme with our planet. We are consuming natural resources faster than they can regenerate; we are using the Earth’s future resources to operate in the present; we are digging ourselves deeper and deeper into ecological debt. Prosperity can only last if we embrace the reality of our planet’s means. Accepting this physical reality allows us to build an economy that works forever. Ignoring ecological limits leads to a finite, time-limited economy which steadily erodes the planet it depends on. A path to success – or to one-planet prosperity – requires robust metrics that relate our global context to local decisions. Measure what you treasure: To build a world where all can thrive, we need to know how much nature we have and how much we use. |
