How much Nature do we have? How much do we use? | Mathis Wackernagel | TEDxSanFrancisco

August 19th is Earth Overshoot Day 2014 marking the day when humanity has exhausted Earth’s budget for this year. In his talk, Mathis explains the economical implications of the consumption.

Mathis is co-creator of the Ecological Footprint and President of Global Footprint Network. He completed a Ph.D. in community and regional planning with Professor William Rees at the University of British Columbia, where his doctoral dissertation developed the ‘Ecological Footprint’ concept.

Hello Cousin! I showed your talk to my students! It met a lot of our needs of the topics we are studying. Thanks.

Great presentation! Please continue to bring this information and direction to more people. Unfortunately, there was at least one person in the audience (the person in the pink top at 15:35 on their phone) who had more important things to pay attention to. I acknowledge that I have no idea what they could have been looking at, but it surely it could wait until this guy was done.
