About this listen

First published in 1996, Our Ecological Footprint sets out a powerful model for visualizing and measuring humanity's impact on the Earth - the ecological footprint - with the aim of reducing the harm we are causing the planet before it is too late. Although numerous organizations, governments, and individuals worldwide have now adopted the concept of ecological footprinting, the idea has also proved to be controversial. The authors sound a clear warning that our planet's limited resources simply can't support an economic system based on unlimited growth. This provides serious food for thought to thinkers and policymakers who believe we can find a middle ground between environmental conservation and economic development, and to others who place their faith in future technological discoveries to solve the problem. What is clear, though, is that Our Ecological Footprint offers a valuable tool to help us create a more just, sustainable planet, and to safeguard our natural resources for generations to come.

Useful but somewhat repetitive.

I had bought the book and will still study that, but was looking for an audiobook version. That being unavailable, this Macat analysis provided an alternative. This was my first experience with Macat analyses.

The transition between sections irritated me. I do not need to be told that a section is ending, what the next section will be, and then hear what the next section will be again. Make an easier transition from one chapter to another, please.

Parts of the summary and assessment of how this book, published some years ago, currently fit into the “footprint “ field was indeed helpful. The length of the analysis was also what I needed although I believe some of the earlier sections could have been shortened because there seems to be quite a bit of overlap between sections. This improved later.
