My standard of living increased this summer based upon the wonderful organic food I got from my garden. None of that will show up as GDP or be reflected in my tax return. It's all a win-win, though. Both I and the planet have profited. <BR/><BR/>We also need to focus on population. At any level of resource utilization, our problems will be increasded by population.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861605.post-1117462640618879462005-05-30T10:17:00.000-04:002005-05-30T10:17:00.000-04:00Good post Kurt - thats a point thats worth repeati...Good post Kurt - thats a point thats worth repeating - decentralise as well as pushing for development of alternative energy sources.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the post seems to have been published twice (nothing new for Blogger there).Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.com
