"We may have already surpassed the point at which we can sustainably support the world's population using present standards of production and consumption. That disturbing possibility should impel us to seek, as sensibly and quickly as possible, an integration of our wants and needs as expressed and served by commerce, with the capacity of the earth, water, forests, and fields to meet them" - Paul Hawken, The Ecology of Commerce

Nic Marks: The Happy Planet Index | Video on TED.com
Another great talk on TED, showing how by measuring a nation success through GDP only we miss-out on the most basic and essential needs that we need the most. We are made to believe nations must only focus on productivity, but I believe the time has come to think of out the box and start looking at other factors that will guarantee social justice and wellness for everyone, not for the few.
