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
