Ecological Footprints - Do We Fit on the Planet? How much nature do we use? How much nature do we have? Date : 1 April 2003, Tuesday Time: 6 - 7,30 pm Venue: Auditorium, Adelaide Convention Centre
A free public forum presented by internationally acknowledged sustainability advocate and co-creator of the Ecological Footprint concept, Dr Mathis Wackernagel. We're spending our natural capital as if there's no tomorrow. The average Adelaide resident requires approximately 8 hectares of productive land to meet their consumption demands. If all the productive land on the Earth were allocated equally, there would be approximately 2 hectares per person. The battle for sustainability will be won or lost in cities. As Adelaide strives to become a green city, innovative and creative approaches to reducing the city's Ecological Footprint need to be devised. Mathis Wackernagel will discuss how the Ecological Footprint can be used as a tool for creating new urban possibilities in the City of Adelaide. RSVP Not required.
