%X It is hard not to become discouraged whenever an environmental ¡°state of the planet¡± report is issued. Inevitably, we seem to be that much closer to an ill defined but much-discussed ¡°ecological tipping point¡± past which we are told there is no return. The obstacles to global ecological sustainability are particularly overwhelming in light of the triple ecological challenge: the attachment of consumers, especially in the developed countries, to their unsustainable and insatiable lifestyle; the relentless pursuit of corporate profit by companies that serve the consumer market; and the legitimate desire of the socially and economically marginalized populations of the developing countries for an equitable share of the world¡¯s resources.
