Can economic growth be sustainable?
Can Economic Growth Be Sustainable? A century ago, a forest in the Pacific Northwest could absorb the errors of an economy. Rivers carried away dyes and solvents. Soil swallowed metals. Air diluted smoke. Human ambition was buffered by abundance. The Earth functioned as a forgiving parent, not because it was infinite, but because industrial civilization was still comparatively small. Today the...

Does capitalism harm the environment?
Does Capitalism Harm the Environment? A river does not invoice the forest for carrying nutrients downstream. A bee does not submit a quarterly earnings report after pollinating an orchard. The atmosphere, despite serving as the largest waste repository in human history, has never sent a collection notice to an oil company. Nature functions through reciprocity, feedback, and astonishing...

How do countries balance growth and conservation?
How Do Countries Balance Growth and Conservation? There is a photograph I return to every few years. It was taken from orbit at night. The Korean Peninsula glows unevenly, a neural map of civilization. South Korea burns with electric density, while the North appears as a darkened coastline interrupted by faint municipal embers. Economists see GDP. Ecologists see energy throughput. Politicians...

How do governments reduce pollution?
How Do Governments Reduce Pollution? A river does not argue. It carries the memory of a civilization in silence. Stand beside the lower stretch of the Cuyahoga River in the late 1960s and you would have smelled varnish, gasoline, sulfur, rot. The water itself could ignite. It did ignite. Flames climbed from the river’s surface like a deranged industrial miracle, and the photographs...

How do we grow economically without destroying the environment?
How Do We Grow Economically Without Destroying the Environment? The False Choice That Keeps Showing Up Every few years, somebody stands up and tells us we have to choose. We can have economic growth, they say, or we can have a healthy environment. Pick one. I've never bought that argument. Not because environmental challenges aren't real. They are. Anyone looking honestly at rising...

How does economics affect the environment?
How Does Economics Affect the Environment? There is a moment, standing in an old-growth forest, when economics appears absurd. Not wrong. Not malicious. Simply too small. The trees do not invoice the atmosphere for oxygen. Rivers do not submit expense reports after flooding a delta with nutrients. A mycorrhizal network beneath the soil—those astonishing fungal webs trading carbon and...

Is environmental economics a good field?
Is Environmental Economics a Good Field? There is a moment, quiet and almost embarrassing in its simplicity, when a person realizes the economy is not separate from the Earth. It happens in strange places. A dry reservoir. A grocery receipt. A wildfire smoke alert arriving before breakfast. A fishing village where the boats remain tied because the water has warmed three degrees and the fish...

Is environmental protection expensive?
Is Environmental Protection Expensive? The question arrives dressed as economics, but it is almost always a question about imagination. A river catches fire once and people call it tragedy. A river catches fire twice and investors call it uncertainty. A river catches fire three times and economists quietly rename it “externalized cost.” Language has a way of laundering smoke. For...

Is green energy economically viable?
Is Green Energy Economically Viable? The first time I stood beneath a utility-scale wind turbine, I expected noise. Machinery always announces itself. Diesel engines rattle. Coal plants exhale like exhausted dragons. Even the fluorescent lights in old office buildings buzz with the low anxiety of consumption. But the turbine made almost no sound at all. The blades moved with a slow authority,...

Should governments tax pollution?
Should Governments Tax Pollution? The river looked anesthetized. Not dead. Worse. Alive in a diminished way, as if life itself had signed a compromise agreement. I remember standing beside the Cuyahoga years after the famous fire, watching the water move under a film of industrial sheen that caught the afternoon sun like a bruise. Nearby, a father cast a fishing line with the stubborn...
