proposition. Fossil fuels, minerals, and natural ecosystems provide materials and services
that are not easily replaceable, at least at the level needed today with a population
approaching 7 billion.
A key aspect to guarantee long-term sustainability is the transition to renewable energy and
materials, while preserving natural ecosystems that provide vital services to the planet.
However, with an economic system that is based on continual growth and the shortcomings of
renewable energy and materials production, the idea of creating a sustainable economy will be
a difficult task.
