monthly digest of news, commentary, and interdisciplinary research in
human solidarity, environmental sustainability, and best practices to
foster human development. Currently the central theme is the
confluence of gender equality and clean energy. We are actively

The Transition from Homo economicus to Homo ecologicus
http://www.pelicanweb.org/solisustv07n03page1.html
This issue is focused on the transition from nonrenewable to renewable
sources
of energy, which is contingent on human adaptation from the economic
mindset to
the ecological mindset. The central concept is to mitigate the human
propensity
to consume and activate the human capacity to adapt. Since the consumerist
mentality is still prevalent, there is a need to penalize (via taxes) the use
of natural resources and subsidize the development of clean energy.
Please forward this notice to friends and colleagues who might be interested.
Submission of research papers on sustainable human development is cordially
invited.
Sincerely,
Luis

La Transición de Homo economicus a Homo ecologicus
http://www.pelicanweb.org/solisustv07n03page1.html
Esta edición está enfocada a la transición de recursos energéticos que no
son renovables a los que son renovables, la cual a su vez require una
adaptación humana de la mentalidad económica a la mentalidad ecológica. Hay
que moderar la propensión al consumo y reforzar la capacidad humana de
adaptación. Pero como la mentalidad consumerista es dominante, hay que
penalizar (mediante impuestos) el uso de recursos naturales y subvensionar el
desarollo de la energía renovable.
Sinceramente,
