Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The types of energy used and produced, where it comes from, its costs, the jobs created, and the reliability and affordability of supply, are all important factors to consider when examining the relationship between energy and economy. [...] Health and Environmental Indicators The production and consumption of energy, regardless of the source, always has some impacts on human health and the environment. [...] It is hoped that the development of these institutional indicators will strengthen the role of the Nova Scotia government both in setting the rules and targets for a sustainable energy system and in ensuring that these rules and targets are implemented, supported by financial instruments, and enforced when necessary. [...] Conclusions and Recommendations The evidence presented in this document shows quite clearly that Nova Scotia is not making significant or adequate progress towards sustainability in its energy system, and that the production and use of energy are the leading causes of a number of serious environmental problems. [...] Equally importantly, the current rate of non- renewable energy consumption must be drastically slowed to delay the advent of peak oil production and the end of cheap non-renewable supplies, and to decelerate and then reverse the serious environmental consequences of fossil fuel combustion including climate change and air pollution.

Book excerpt: Measuring Sustainable Development Free time has explicit value in the Genuine Progress Index, and losses in free time should be counted as real losses in value, and as a decline in one key dimension of human capital, since such loss reflects a direct decrease in quality of life and an indirect threat to health, economic productivity, and human wellbeing. [...] Because of its widely acknowledged value, benefits, and contribution to wellbeing, leisure and free time are explicitly valued in the Genuine Progress Index (GPI) as one of the key conditions of wellbeing and therefore constitute one of the 20 core components of the GPI. [...] This study examines several aspects of the use of free time: • How do Nova Scotians fare relative to the rest of Canada and to other countries in terms of the leisure time available to them? [...] In the rest of Canada (Canada less Nova Scotia), free time averaged 5.7 hours a day in 1992, declining to 5.47 hours in 2005, narrowing the difference between Nova Scotia and the rest of Canada from 0.48 hour to 0.2 hour (Figure 1). [...] Differences between Nova Scotia and the rest of Canada in free time use and in changes in time use patterns over time thus partly reflect demographic differences and changes.
