G This all goes back to the idea of “carrying capacity”, Sutton adds, and explains the concept in the following way: 'You can only put so many goldfish in a tank before they're killed by their own waste, and you can only raise so many cattle on a given area of land.' Humans are in a unique position, because Earth's carrying capacity for us depends on how we choose to live and to use technology. But our influence on Earth's carrying capacity is often unpredictable and difficult to discern. Sometimes our choices will increase the impact we have on the environments we live in; sometimes they will decrease the consequences. But, Sutton says, night-time satellite imagery seems a good way to go about minimizing the damage.
