Nadine et al., Thats great news congratulations to Michelle and the ESA! If ESA adopts a position on economic growth, a pre-existing reputation for "Walking the Talk" will be highly beneficial. When the American Society of Mammalogists adopted its position on economic growth this summer, there were calls for walking the talk, too. It seems that the macroeconomic approach can engender the microeconomic approach, and vice versa - good thing since theyre both required to raise that "sustainability bar."
