The Guardian article by Jonathan Watts, Are accountants the last hope for the world's ecosystems?, says:

So it has come to this. The global biodiversity crisis is so severe that brilliant scientists, political leaders, eco-warriors, and religious gurus can no longer save us from ourselves. The military are powerless. But there may be one last hope for life on earth: accountants.

Wow.  Eco-accounting.  Well, as is said..."If you cannot measure it, you cannot control it."

The story ends with, "Accountants as agents of revolution? Now there's a thought."

Become the accountant who changed the world.
