"WE ARE INTO THE OPENING STAGES of a human-caused biotic holocaust--a wholesale elimination of species--that could leave the planet impoverished for at least five million years.

The Sustainable Scale Project provides educational material and resources to assist government decision makers, civil society organizations and students:
  • to understand the implications of the sustainable scale concept, and
  • wherever appropriate, to integrate Attractive Solutions into sustainable scale relevant policy decisions.
