Thanks for this fwd., Mike.
I just want to point out that that the "Growth Paradigm" is still the
proferred solution here for the ills of human health, habitat
degradation, and societies in general.

A doubling of Africa's GDP won't increase the aquifers, forests,
fisheries, topsoil, etc. on the continent. A diversion of energy from
resource mining to sustainable economic & agricultural practices, for
example, could improve well-being with no increase on GDP.
