Using only our fair share of planet
Using only our fair share of planet - Cardiff, Wales, November 25, 2008
The Welsh Assembly Government’s new sustainable development consultation document, "One Wales: One Planet", has set the necessary but ambitious goal of “using only our fair share of the Earth’s resources”. The title of the document is taken from the Ecological Footprint research; this measures Welsh resource consumption as requiring the equivalent of 2.7 planets. If Wales is to live within the environmental capacity of the planet, it will need to reduce its resource consumption by around two-thirds from present levels.
