Here is a new documentary worth watching compiling the lectures and planetary warning issued by William Rees, the co-creator of the Eco-Footprint concept and Professor in the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia.

Dr. Rees has measured humanityโ€™s use of the planetโ€™s resources, and has concluded – not surprisingly – that humans are using more resources than the planet can supply us withย sustainably.

Check out this 29-minute documentary compilation of his lectures, and a summary of hisย warning.
