We are eating into our 'natural capital' - report

What is crucial in this [below] is the link between economy and
ecosystem. This is where the GP's position is distinctive: Our Party
believes in one planet living! Other Parties presumably think that in a
moment or two we'll be off mining in space etc - pure fantasy...

WWF has launched the 2010 edition of the Living Planet Report
http://nl.panda.org/inxmail?i4710vmfk0e0bdiubqbwqx3a528.

The report is published every 2 years and is considered to be the
world's
leading, science-based analysis about the impact of human activity on
the
health of our planet. This is a big deal for us and we wanted to share
it
with you, our supporter, straight away.

It's key finding: humanity's demands exceed our planet's capacity to
sustain us. That is, we ask for more than what we have.

Why does this happen?

How can we change this and guarantee a healthy future for human kind?
