What will use more finite resources? That 3rd or 4th child you have or driving a large car? We all need to think about the choices we make

Short term "dash for cash" economic solutions hinder progress towards a better, more sustainable, world

Without environmental sustainability, economic stability and social cohesion cannot be achieved

Like our finances, humankind is living with a growing ecological deficit but the solution is different. The deficit will worsen with dangerous consequences unless we address population growth sooner rather than later. Efficiency improvements, increased use of renewable resources and less waste in themselves are no longer sufficient to put us back into credit

The UK still has time to accelerate the take-up of renewable energy and put the nation on a path towards clean energy that is cheaper, stable and more sustainable. We have a stark choice: We can stay stuck in the last century's boom and bust approach to our economy in the way we consume energy and resources, or create a sustainable, stable and renewable energy infrastructure with the long term environmental and employment benefits that ensue

Is it better that we manage population growth responsibly or should we to wait for nature to cull our numbers?

It's for management to enthuse & motivate employees towards excellence in service; the profit incentive doesn't last
