Ecological Freakonomics
Editorial, The Economist | January 22, 2010
More and more countries in the world push towards the rationalization of environmentally friendly policies by putting a price on Mother Nature. ++ “Misallocation of resources” is central to preserving biodiversity and ecosystems in order to capture the true value of what we cannot afford to lose. ++ An economic approach favors the least harmful long term policies. ++ Ecologists should quit useless esthetic and emotional discourse on nature and rather listen more carefully to economists’ expertise.

The oceans also grow our food, and they are ultra-important for human life. If the air becomes too polluted we cannot breathe it without having condition issues. And these are all things we must consider. If you are a "far left environmentalist" I can tell you of a great book to read that you will love. If you are a right wing conservative and get tired of all the environmental overblown doom-and-gloomers then perhaps, you might like this book too, and it might stop and make you think.
