Nic Marks: The Happy Planet Index - Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation's success by its productivity -- instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn't have to cost the earth). Which countries rank highest in the HPI? You might be surprised.
Human well-being, in all it's many dimensions, and ecological integrity (health) intrinsically intertwine. This blog seeks to advocate for the preservation and enhancement of all life on Earth (Gaia). Life is precious and tenuous. We must cherish it in ourselves, in others, and in the natural world. Whatever happens to one; happens ultimately to all. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein
