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.

The Overview Effect

Ecological economics takes a big picture approach to consider how our society, economy and the environment are all interconnected. This 19 minute film gives a beautiful explanation of that interconnectedness by describing the overview effect experienced by astronauts as they look back at our planet from space. Enjoy it. I found it very inspiring.
