Daly Rule’s Approach (Based on the work by Nicholas G-R)
These
define the condition of Ecological Sustainability
•Do
not use renewable resources (Ex: fish, groundwater etc.) at a
rate faster than that at which they
regenerate
•Do
not use nonrenewable resources (Ex: fossil fuels) at a rate
faster than the rate at which corresponding
renewable
substitutes for them can be put into place
•
•Do
not emit pollution and wastes at a rate faster than the rate at
which natural systems can absorb / recycle /
render them
harmless.
•
These rules are thought to be most direct way of translating Bruntland Definition into operation
