[Sustain-dev] Transition from Homo Economicus to Homo Ecologicus

[Luis Gutierrez]

For your consideration:

Mother Pelican - A Journal of Sustainable Human Development
Volume 7, Number 3, March 2011
*Transition from Homo Economicus to Homo Ecologicus*
http://www.pelicanweb.org/solisustv07n03page1.html

This issue is focused on the transition from nonrenewable to renewable 
sources of energy, which is contingent on human adaptation from the 
economic mindset to the ecological mindset. The central concept is to 
mitigate the human propensity to consume and activate the human capacity 
to adapt. This will require interdisciplinary dialog between the 
physical sciences, the biological sciences, the social sciences, etc. 
What would be the best way to foster such comprehensive dialog? Are 
there case examples that you know about?

Sincerely,
Luis
