Abstract: AbstractLiving in a finite world means choices have to be made as to how to utilise natural resources. Are they to be taken in the short term, trusting to science to find other raw materials when these are required? Are resources to be husbanded for future generations or used primarily for this generation? How are resources to be distributed within a particular generation or for the benefit of generations as yet unborn (and how far into the future should these calculations be made)? Are certain resources to be conserved so that they may be preserved for all? How should renewable as opposed to non-renewable resources be treated? Are resources just for the use of humans or should humans consider their impact on the rights of other non-human species?…
