Radarend Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Economy and Environment will developed simultaneity in a new and fresh global economic institution. Yesterday i glance a site of greency dot org and I got that. Everyone want a good environment and every governmant endeavor to achieve the goal but can not, maybe that is the guidline. Lately i focus on externality, and when i read the greency.org, and rethink the ideas, I feel that the ideas maybe the best way to resolve the environment or industrial pollution at most to the present.

freeztar Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 I'm not sure I completely understand what greency is all about. I read the tab "On Greency" from the webpage, but it was very general and unclear. From what I understand, it sounds a bit like "Natural Capitalism". Natural capital refers to the natural resources and ecosystem services that make possible all economic activity, indeed all life. These services are of immense economic value; some are literally priceless, since they have no known substitutes. Yet current business practices typically fail to take into account the value of these assets-which is rising with their scarcity. As a result, natural capital is being degraded and liquidated by the wasteful use of such resources as energy, materials, water, fiber, and topsoil. The first of natural capitalism's four interlinked principles, therefore, is radically increased resource productivity. Implementing just this first principle can significantly improve a firm's bottom line, and can also help finance the other three. They are: redesigning industry on biological models with closed loops and zero waste; shifting from the sale of goods (for example, light bulbs) to the provision of services (illumination); and reinvesting in the natural capital that is the basis of future prosperity.
