Ecosurplus Index

Abstract: According to many recently published reports and indisputably evidence, environmental pollution and climate change are becoming increasingly serious. Regrettably, this is because humans underestimate the value of nature, and particularly violate the asymmetry principle of nature and humans. To be specific, humans are creating an eco-deficit culture with one’s environmental footprints/impacts far surpass nature’s resilience capacity. In short, in this short note, I just initially introduce and advocate two new concepts/metrics: environmental social efficiency and ecosurplus index. We can use them for measuring the degree of realization of humans’ thoughts for environmental goals, evaluating the ecosurplus culture-based society, and building ecosurplus culture/high value culture for sustainable development in a long run. This is a further step to realize humans’ ambitious objectives for tackling environmental pollution and climate change. And more importantly, we will continue to develop these concepts/metrics till they are complete in years to come.
