Ecological Footprints Quotes

• We see a world of abundance, not limits. In the midst of a great deal of talk about reducing the human ecological footprint, we offer a different vision. What if humans designed products and systems that celebrate an abundance of human creativity, culture, and productivity? That are so intelligent and safe, our species leaves an ecological footprint to delight in, not lament?

• The money economy thus leaves a large ecological footprint, defined as the amount of land and resources required to meet a typical consumer's needs. For example, with only about 4% of the world's population, the United States, the largest money economy, consumes in excess of one-quarter of the world's energy and materials and generates in excess of 25 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.

• Algunas personas creen que los humanos tienen derecho a comer otros animales pero no a destrozar la Tierra. Puede que elijan el veganismo porque la huella ecológica de un vegano es leve, pero una vez que no invierten en comer animales, es más probable que estén dispuestos a aprender los detalles de lo que les ocurre. Ese aprendizaje animará a las personas compasivas a seguir una dieta basada en plantas.
