The last two measures (p 108) are the “happy planet index” (which is a ratio of satisfaction divided by Footprint – or how much satisfaction a country can squeeze out of every hectare of resource use -- from our partner new economics foundation) and, last but not least, a ranking of Footprint of nations. It is prominently listed on the page just opposite of the opening page for the country profiles.

Exploring 7 Billion: Population, Inequities, and our Changing Climate
In late October, 2011, Earth became home to 7 billion people. For every one person alive at the turn of the 20th Century when many of our grandparents were children, there are now more than four. The world's resources are not growing in step with humans. Our dramatic resource exploitation has profound implications for our climate and for human health. But larger family sizes don't always correlate with greater resource consumption: a child born in the U.S. will be responsible for almost seven times the carbon emissions of a child born in China and 168 times the impact of a child born in Bangladesh.

Join experts from the Institute for Population Studies (IPS), Global Footprint Network and Earth Island Institute as we explore the complex and critical, yet often not discussed, intersection of population growth and climate change and the effects both have on human health, women's rights, and the social and economic issues we face globally and locally.

We'll begin with a screening of the internationally acclaimed, award winning film, "Mother: Caring for 7 Billion" (www.motherthefilm.com), and follow with a panel and audience discussion.

About the Regenerating Solutions Salon series: The Bay Area environmental scene is rich with opportunities to volunteer, take action, and get politically engaged. What's missing? A time and space for talking with others about questions, issues, and challenges that come up when engaging in environmental advocacy and personal action. The Ecology Center's Regenerating Solutions Salon addresses this through presentations and facilitated discussions touching on a variety of topics.
Time: 7pm - 9pm.
Location: Ecology Center, 2530 San Pablo Ave, at Dwight Way, Berkeley.
Cost: Free.
Info: 510-548-2220 x240, debra@ecologycenter.org.
