Sustainability will result from our becoming better ecological accountants at the community level. We must as a future necessity recycle essentially all materials and run on sunlight; then our future will depend on accounting as the most important and interesting discipline

Sustainability Challenge
• Deserts: 6 million hectares per year• Deforestation: 17 million hectares/yr• Soil Oxidation & Erosion: 26billion tons/yr• Fisheries Collapsing• Ground Water Pollution• Species Extinction: Estimates =
17,000species• Increasing Atmospheric Carbon: Over 30%

Summary
• Current consumption of agricultural products, wood fiber & fossil fuel have an ecological footprint which exceeds ecologically productive land by 30%
• We need a 30% larger world, and its shrinking fast

Summary Continued
• 20% of the wealthiest use 80% of the resources
• This is equivalent to 104% of global carrying capacity
