"To create a sustainable world, we need everyone's cooperation. If we are going to get that cooperation, we need to acknowledge equal rights to all of the world's scarce natural opportunities. To make equal rights meaningful, the world must develop a concept of environmental equality that takes into account all appropriations of scarce natural opportunities - using land, fishing, extracting oil, gold, and diamonds, polluting, using the frequency spectrum, emitting greenhouse gasses, using geosynchronous orbits, having children, etc., and we need to have compensation from the nations that appropriate more than their shares to those that appropriate less than their shares. To do the accounting, we should develop markets that would reveal the scarcity value of as many of the resources as possible."
