• Help dispel myth of perpetual growth with
implications from thermodynamics.
• Expand academic niche.
– Economics
– Ecology
– “Sustainability Science”
• Popularize findings and “don’t be such a
scientist.”

“One of the most rapidly growing markets related to ecosystem services is the carbon market… It is speculated that this market may grow to some $44 billion by 2010.”

So how do we pay increasing amounts for ecosystem services?
• By liquidating increasing amounts of natural capital to generate the money.
• That is, by liquidating the funds of ecosystem services we are “investing” in.

Ecological Micro and Macro
• Micro alone leads to the trophic conundrum.
• Macro alone is tough political sledding.
• Micro and macro: two tracks for the sustainable train.

“Rich Nations Gobbling Resources at an Unsustainable Rate”
OAKLAND, California, March 30, 2004 (ENS) – Excessive consumption by the world’s richest nations is making life even more difficult for the world’s least fortunate, according to a new report by Redefining Progress… the wealthiest nations are depleting global resources at an unprecedented rate…
