Ecological Economics is about the interaction between humans and the environment via the economy. It starts from the premise that the economy is limited by the constraint of our planet's finite resources. It rejects the mainstream economics goal of continued economic growth and proposes instead a steady state economy.
This is a recent report by WWF which gives a good indication of the pressure being put on our planet. Think about this in terms of the 'throughput' we discussed in class.
