125 / Marching Toward Collapse / William Rees

I speak with William Rees, human ecologist, ecological economist, Professor Emeritus and former Director of the University of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning in Vancouver, Canada. Dr. Rees is the originator and co-developer of the ecological footprint analysis, and the co-author, with Mathis Wackernagel, of Our Ecological Footprint, an exploration of this concept. The ecological footprint concept has become the world’s best-known metaphor for the human ‘load’ (the resources required of ecosystems to maintain our current mode of living) on the planet. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/william-rees // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
