And can we celebrate what has been achieved since 1970?
It’s Earth Day today, a good opportunity to look at mankind’s amazing environmental progress. But good news tends to be treated like a dirty secret: in her recent column, my colleague Mary Wakefield wrote how a ‘dark green’ orthodoxy of negativity is being taught in schools, with kids encouraged to think thinks are bad and getting worse.
So what went right? MIT’s Andrew McAffee devotes a chapter to Earth Day in his book More From Less. We’re learning to tread more lightly on the planet, he argues: instead of abandoning economic growth as was advocated on 1970 Earth Day we have done something more profound: uncoupled economic growth from the use of resources. In a way that was seen to be impossible by the founding fathers of the environmentalist movement. I was struck by figures in his book and wanted to see how far his arguments apply to the UK. Some of the results are below: they’re odd metrics, not ones you often see quoted. But they’re pretty amazing, and show how we’re using less of the earth’s resources in spite of a far-bigger population and economy.
