One of the things that Ive always thought I would like to do is to develop an environmental index. Then people can measure their own environmental performance on an index as they do in other ways.

After all, sustainability means running the global environment - Earth Inc. - like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital.

Nothing less than the fate of the planet is at stake... No place on the planet can remain an island of affluence in a sea of misery.

Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring this about?

Anyone who is seriously interested in me would usually do a little more homework and realise that the extreme criticisms are almost exclusively ideologically based.

We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.

We must, from here on in, all go down the same path... There may not be another chance.
