‘Peak’ fossil fuels… Depleting mineral resources… Soil erosion… Soil compaction… Loss of soil nutrients… Salinisation… Deforestation… Draining of wetlands … Paving over open land… Subsidence… Eutrophication… Aquifer drainage… ‘Dry’ rivers… Water pollution… Acidification… Toxic & Radioactive contamination… Overflowing landfills… Exhausted fisheries ……………………………………………
