Ecological economics course

Upcoming Course on Ecological Economics

Folks, I wanted to bring this course to your attention.  As my signature line should make clear, I strongly believe that in order to conserve reptiles and amphibians as well as all other living things on the planet and the quality of life for our descendants, we have to adopt an economic system that incorporates ecology and recognizes the limits of our planet.  Ecological economics does that.

If you are interested and available, this should be a good course.
