The Earth is nearing its limits. Population growth, unchecked consumption, and environmental degradation have pushed the planet to the brink. Acclaimed systems analyst Donella Meadows lays out the stark reality: without drastic changes, global collapse is inevitable. But there is hope. By balancing long-term sustainability with short-term needs, Meadows maps a way forward, one of compassion, efficiency, and a new ethic of living within the Earth's means.
