Ecological Footprint - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
Global Footprint Network Ecological Footprint Overview sustainability Education Center Our Ecological Footprint Estimate Your Ecological Footprint
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_footprint

Extractions: An ecological footprint is the measure of how much land and water area a human population needs to produce the resources required to sustain itself and to absorb its wastes, given prevailing technology. The term, coined by Canadian ecologist William Rees and Matthis Wackernagel, is used as a resource management and community planning tool. edit Ecological footprint analysis approximates the amount of arable and agriculturally or ecologically productive land area it takes to sustain one human or group of humans, say in a family or city , based on their use of energy food water building material and other consumables . It is a way of determining relative consumption for the purpose of educating people about their resource use and, sometimes, triggering them to change how they consume. It can be combined with overpopulation concerns and stated as "the number of Earths it would take to support every human living exactly the way you do." Ecological footprints have been used to argue that current lifestyles are not

Although urban nature, in the industrialized countries, is not typically a livelihood resource to residents, it does provide essential ecosystem services, including direct use, as in environmental, recreational and psychological services ( Vandruff et al., 1995 Korpela et al., 2001 ), and in a wide array of educational and social services ( Berkowitz et al., 2003

Michael Schwelien: You both have considerable experience working with big companies. Could you venture to describe a model of a multinational corporation that deserves to be called a good corporate citizen in environmental matters? Rajendra K. Pachauri: A good transnational corporation that is sensitive on environmental matters is one that ensures that wherever it operates it takes care of the natural resources around that particular location. I find that a number of organizations leave a large footprint on the ecology of a particular region. In several parts of the world the environment has been degraded, it has been destroyed. And I think if a company can help to rebuild the ecological resources in a particular location, it would have enormous benefits for everyone. It seems to me this would not be a very high-cost exercise. The emphasis there is on rebuilding after destruction.

Extractions: Skip Navigation PAD: TM Research Research program Other programs ... Contact us This research is focused on modelling product-process chains with respect to sustainability-related topics, particularly reuse/recycling related problems, and sustainable industrial parks. There is an emphasis on quantitative analysis and the application of mathematical programming techniques. This is complementary to other work of the same researchers, in which application of techniques from systems and control theory is investigated. The main emphasis of this research is on the enhancement of sustainability of industrial parks, by means of (1) the exchange of materials and energy flows, (2) the efficient use of surface area and (3) the clustering of activities. Although the focus is om quantitative analysis of materials- and energy flows, this is embedded in a context of organisatorial, town and country planning, and other relevant aspects. The project is aimed at gaining insight in sustainability-related aspects of the various wastewater treatment systems. A method is developed for optimisation and comparison of a large number of such systems simultaneously. A methodological framework is developed, based on LCA, but extended with economic, social, and technological sustainability aspects. Based on an inventor, mathematical models of these technologies are formulated, subsequently a selection is carried out that is based on optimalisation calculations. This will provide us with more insight on the achievable sustainability level of waste water treatment plants.

Extractions: Counter Began: Feb.22,2003. Last Updated: Bagelhole.org is about creating and living the vision of the life we want for ourselves and for the whole planet: A life that is sustainable with ecological integrity, full of love, respect, abundance, artistic expression, healing, and freedom, which allows, promotes, and shares the incredible diversity that already exists. Almost the exact opposite of how the world seems to be today. How do we go about this? Lets start with ourselves, our home, our neighborhood, and work outward. By utilizing the internet we can share our successes and ideas with one another to facilitate building a low (or high) tech, self-sustainable infrastructure to hedge against future collapse to create the possibility of shifting the paradigm from competition to cooperation in a non-violent way. This website is for that purpose and the more people who participate the more effective it will be. I would like to mention that in the past we have promoted "vertical aquaponics" as a cutting edge way to grow food. However, after a good deal of experimentation, we are going to have to admit it hasn't really worked well. The main problem being that the fish excrement in the water hasn't enough nutrients for the plants, so if one wishes to try to do it, a compost tea is suggested or the use of soil for holding the plants. The fish water could be run through this.

http://www.cplbookshop.com/contents/C996.htm

Extractions: Paperback 352 pp, 75 diags, 9 illus, 3 colour plates ISBN 0521337283 The problem of ecosystem damage is international; a recent estimate suggests that 43% of the earth's terrestrial surface has a reduced capacity to supply benefits to humanity because of recent direct impacts of land use. The discipline of restoration ecology aims to provide a scientifically sound basis for the reconstruction of degraded or destroyed ecosystems and to produce self-supporting systems which are, to some degree, resilient to subsequent damage. This book looks at the main issues with a broad perspective, using case studies where appropriate and considering the economic and social context in which restoration is carried out. It is essential to reverse current trends by developing and using our knowledge of how to restore ecosystems. The book is therefore important for scientists, professionals in ecological restoration, landscape architects and environmental engineers, and more generally for those involved in sustainable development.

Australia State Of The Environment 1996 - Executive Summary - Towards Ecological
Towards ecological sustainability. Sustainable development; Information needs; What we need to sustain; Global environment context
http://www.deh.gov.au/soe/soe96/ex-summary/towards.html

Extractions: ISBN 643 05830 3 Contents Previous Next Sustainable development Sustainable development is arguably the central issue of our time. Its basic aim is to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Support for this goal is now widespread. Following extensive consultation with all community sectors, Australian governments adopted in 1992 a National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD). The strategy defines ESD as a pattern of development that improves the total quality of life, both now and in the future, in a way that maintains the ecological processes on which life depends. One of the functions of this report is to assess progress towards the goal of ecological sustainability (see the box on page 10 for more details about the approach taken in the report, including its objectives). Information needs State of the Environment reporting is an important step in the essential process of refining the knowledge base on which decisions about the environment are made. That base is currently inadequate. For example, while we believe that more than 90 per cent of vertebrates and higher plants in Australia are identified and described, it is estimated that only about 50 per cent of the invertebrates and simpler plants are identified. We know even less about other species such as fungi and bacteria. With such limited knowledge, it is impossible to assess the impact of human activity on biodiversity - a critical aspect of ecosystem health and resilience.
Ecological Sustainability
sustainability is the term used to describe developments that meet the needs of today without compromising the ability to meet the needs of tomorrow.

Extractions: @import url("../stylesheets/explore_adv.css"); Back to Explore Back to Fact Sheets Sustainability is the term used to describe developments that meet the needs of today without compromising the ability to meet the needs of tomorrow. Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) is a term which applies to every aspect of living in a sustainable way. There are three broad conditions for sustainability: renewable resources, such as timber and fish, should be used no faster than they are able to be renewed. non-renewable resources like coal and oil should only be used within the rate of substitution by alternatives. wastes should only be produced within the ability to process or assimilate them. The most important things we should sustain are healthy, functioning ecosystems and their species. Not only do they provide us with life-support services such as food, water and oxygen, they also nourish us aesthetically and spiritually. Furthermore, they have their own right to exist without the threat of human destruction. However, at present, we are not living sustainably in Australia; our farming practices cause erosion, salinisation and acidification of soils, and river pollution. This means that food production is not sustainable with current methods. As well, farming, mining, logging, urban expansion and recreation are destroying biodiversity and natural habitats.

Extractions: From the SF Chronicle: ORGANIC BY THE OCEAN "On a sprawling dairy at the mouth of the Smith River, a staunch conservative farmer and his family make a business decision: to raise cows and chickens the natural way." Alexandre sometimes hears himself slandered as "a bleeding-heart environmentalist." He cops to the environmentalist part, while separating himself from "those protest fools, who don't get the first thing about what it takes to build a road or a business, either one." "The organic path is the right game at the right time," he said. "It's fully consistent with true conservatism. I can build a business that lets me make payments on my land. And it's truly sustainable. This way, we'll be able to feed more people for a much longer time."
