Kopnina, Shoreman-Quimet, 2015

"Environmental Ethics for Tomorrow: Sustaining the Biosphere," Kopnina, Helen and Eleanor Shoreman-Ouimet, eds., Sustainability: Key Issues 347-358. London: Routledge, Earthscan, 2015.

Do we envision sustainable growth? Are there limits to growth? Might sustainability sometimes require degrowth? Do we envision sustainable opportunity?

Unless humans seek their destiny entwined with sustaining their biosphere, there is no long term future for life, humans included.
