The physical triple bottom-line: Balancing the stock dynamics of people, products, and planet
While the socio-economic metabolism community has so far focused mainly on describing stocks and flows of matter and energy in the anthroposphere, i.e., the built environment, other communities, such as ecology and demography, have analyzed the stocks and flows of plants and animals in the natural environment and of people in societies. We present and illustrate a framework for a common language to describe the stock dynamics for people, products, and planet.
