Excerpted from the Suzuki Foundation blog:
Ecology and economy are interdependent; you can't have an economy without ecology, although we still hear people trying to argue they're opposing forces that balance one another, and that more of one necessarily means less of the other. Which is, we need hardly add, nonsense.
Their interdependence gets more interesting when you look at some of the specific ways they interact. And you can get that view -- up close and updated regularly at Environmental Economics, the site set up and maintained by economists Tim Haab and John Whitehead. It explains the mechanics of things with numbers and reason and insight. Don't be intimidated by the economics angle. It's never abstruse or technical. Instead, the tone is straightforward and forthright, at times bracing or breezy.
