Natural Capital is something we all own, all share and all need to protect.
What is the perfect crime? A theft that’s barely noticed. Natural Capital is a communal wealth. It’s something we all own and benefit from. Each time an ecosystem service is degraded, we all lose just a little. Imperceptible until we account for it.
We wouldn’t let our bank manager off the hook if they lost our deposits. So why do we let our governments off the hook when they allow our wealth to be exploited? Why do we continue to trade with people who exploit it?
As citizens, it’s our responsibility to be aware of our share of Natural Capital. You can make a difference through the choices you make in your daily life as a consumer and as a voting citizen.
Stay informed of the issues and try to inform your friends and family. You can also join our discussions on Twitter
