Global Footprint: October 2006
http://globalfootprint.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 09, 2006. Thoughts on the day the planet tips into Ecological Overdraft, 2006. 9th October 2006: We've already used up the year's supply of the Earth's resources - now we're in ecological overdraft until the end of 2006, with almost 12 weeks still to go. See articles in The Independent. Today, Monday 9 October. 1 Make an inventory of everything you own. Can't do it? 2 Split the list of things you own into two parts:. A) things which need input from someone or somewhere else (eg. elect...

Global Footprint: September 2006
http://globalfootprint.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 16, 2006. Climate change is the symptom - unfair resource use is the cause. Almost half the world is being kept poor by a fifth of the world who live like kings. In the middle, a third of the world's people are working to bring their lifestyle up to the level of the kings. Whenever something bad happens to them. Kings: unless your use of resources is fair (around the average of 1.6-3 global hectares per person), then You Are The Problem. To say that climate change is the probl...Look ...

Global Footprint: July 2006
http://globalfootprint.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 31, 2006. Complexity, convenience and safety are killing the planet. People in the UK are now very aware of global warming, climate change and the need for us all to change our way of life to help save the planet. By now I think most of us must be switching off lights when we leave the room and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. Some of us are even not flushing the loo every time we pee. So is that all? I'm doing all that - problem sorted? Surely not. In which case, what next?

Global Footprint: December 2005
http://globalfootprint.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 10, 2005. What is your global footprint? How many planets do you need to sustain your current lifestyle? I just did the quiz at ecofoot.org. And discovered I have a footprint of 4 hectares and need 2.2 planets to keep it going. Scary. What is a Global or Ecological Footprint? This is the definition from WWF and Bioregional's One Planet Living brochure. Now look at which countries achieve an average 1.8 hectares per person - 85 of them: see the Global Footprint Network. Countries are mo...

Global Footprint: November 2006
http://globalfootprint.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 19, 2006. Climate change, terrorism and social injustice. What is the link between preventing terrorism, combatting climate change and tackling social injustice? One link is that they all depend on the good will and consent of the public in implementing solutions; another is that each is being handled badly by the authorities who currently run the world. Perhaps most important, however, is how. 1 Respect the poor and those who use few resources:. Only mankind tries to control any more th...

Global Footprint: January 2007
http://globalfootprint.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 14, 2007. Climate change, emissions and our ecological footprint. The debate on climate change does not yet focus strongly enough (at least in the public consciousness) on the link between climate change and global warming on the one hand and overuse of resources and large ecological footprints on the other. There is a hierarchy of topics and 'labels', which follows a descending order in the public mind:. For AIDS read climate change - dramatic, scary, huge and unknown. For HIV read carbo...

Global Footprint: March 2006
http://globalfootprint.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 08, 2006. Thoughts for International Women's Day. Women are more environmentally friendly than men! Thoughts for International Women's Day - 8 March 2006. Do women tread more lightly across the world than men? You bet they do. I have no surveys or statistics to back up my theory, but if you put together findings from published studies on gender inequality (from pay levels to private school fees to wealth following divorce), it does appear to ring true. Here is the logic:. Refugee Week Ra...
