The economic costs of ecological deficits -- 2. Eco-economy indicators : twelve trends to track -- 3. Eco-economy updates. 330 $aIn this study, the award-winning environmental analyst Lester Brown and his colleagues have charted progress in building the eco-economy - an economy in harmony with the Earth's ecosystems, not undermining them. This edition of the biennial reader highlights 12 key trends, from population growing by 80 million annually, to ice melting, to the boom in use of solar cells. It explains, for example, why wind-generated electricity is emerging as the foundation of the new post-fossil fuel energy economy. It also specifically investigates China's desertification problem, the issues surrounding food production, and the challenge of controlling climate change. Drawing on research and analysis by the Earth Policy Institute, the reader monitors the shift from the old economy to the new. 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aSustainable development 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aSustainable development. 676 $a363.7 700 $aBrown$b Lester R$g(Lester Russell),$f1934-,$033038 701 $aFischlowitz-Roberts$b Bernie$0150153 701 $aLarsen$b Janet$0150154 712 02$aEarth Policy Institute. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955598103321 996 $aThe earth policy reader$94471436 997 $aUNINA
