The well-being of humanity, the environment, and the functioning of the economy,
ultimately depend upon the responsible management of the planets natural resources. Many of the Earths ecosystems are nearing critical tipping points of depletion or irreversible change, pushed by high population growth and economic
development. By 2050, if current consumption and production patterns remain the
same and with a rising population expected to reach 9.6 billion, we will need 3 planets
to sustain our ways of living & consumption.
Human prosperity need not cost the earth. Living sustainably is about doing more
and better with less. It is about knowing that rising rates of natural resource use and
the environmental impacts that occur are not a necessary by-product of economic
growth.

French Dream A boy was having a lot of difficulty in French class. To encourage him,
his teacher said, "You'll know you're really beginning to get it when you start dreaming
in French." The boy ran into class all excited one day, saying, "Teacher, teacher! I had
a dream last night and everyone was talking in French!" "Great!" said the teacher; "what
were they saying?" "I don't know," the boy replied; "I couldn't understand them."
