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. For further information, please contact Gary
