It rejects the mainstream economics goal of continued economic growth and proposes instead a steady state economy.

A "crash course" in Ecological Economics

This is a great summary of the main issues that Ecological Economics tries to tackle and the approach it takes. Jon Erickson is based at the Gund Institute of Ecological Economics, University of Vermont and the co-author of the Problem based learning text that we will base Year 2 workshops on.

This is a very insightful interview with the creator of the Story of Stuff 'movement'. She answers her critics! Highly recommended.
