Planetary Life Support Systems
Life on Planet Earth is sustained by a web of interconnected systems.
The economy depends on a well-functioning society, providing rule of law, financial systems, infrastructure, education, culture, etc.
The society depends on a healthy environment providing clean air and water, productive soil, food, energy and materials for our “stuff”. Water and material inputs are recycled by nature.
Energy comes from the sun (even if it is stored as fossil fuels).
We seek your solutions to restore balance and health to the economic, social and environmental systems on which our civilization depends.
Our planet is facing unprecedented man-made challenges to long-term sustainability.
