Summary
At EDA’s first conference, we explored the issue of how we identify and manage our common resources into the future. This is a complex issue and unfortunately, there are no quick and easy answers or call to action. But what if the solutions are partly ours to figure out? What if it might just take 50 committed people to galvanize and organize?
Many top environmentalists and leading-edge economists think that the solutions are largely already on the table, but will require discipline, cooperation and public support to implement. We will need to combine the best of what’s already out there with new possibilities.
