Ecological Economics!

been ages since i blogged here. I believe i should begin again. Currently, I am learning all I can about a different perspective of the environment. The Ecological Economics point of view which collaborates the economics with environmental. Seriously, It is very revolutionary and speaks a lot of changing our mindsets: It does a lot of criticism of modern traditional economics and finds ways to make an alternative to the present situation. My exams are so soon this January 2009 so I am cramming away! Mind you, I am no more living in my beloved home of Kota Kinabalu but now am in Barcelona exploring the world. I am trying to figure how I can decide on whose perspective I am on in terms of this ecological vs economic debate? whether im a immaterialist, pessimist, tecnocrat, optimist or an opportunist. Prob not opportunist though..hahaha..I guess in a way i believe in the capacity of human kind to dig itself out of the holes it has created. definitely the world is facing big environmental issues especially on the loss of biodiversity. The point here is that the environment can exist withouth us humankind and this has been proven in the geological time scale where humans did not exist. However, we cant live without the environment and all the ecosystem services provided by Nature. It is a thought to ponder about.
