With virtually ALL economic growth coming at the expense of the environment (see my comment above), there is an urgent need for a new method of calculating economic growth which includes the amount of environmental degradation "contributing" to that growth.

Changing the calculations for economic growth is urgently needed. It must take the negatives more into account. It also needs to include more of the caretaking and services "industries" that provides quality of life. Doing so would shift expectations that we always must increase our stuff to living a sustainable life that increases our well being. Some things are good enough.
