Under these rules this means that the equation for success will always place monitary profit over other values such as environment, human rights, etc. So, Green Economy is one that changes the equation. Let the rules require that monitary profits be balanced with these other values. Perhaps it wuold even be possible to be successful without profit. It would redefine progress as well. We could enjoy “Living Well” as Evo Morales says, or be able to count “Gross National Hapiness”

I share the view of many others who realize how important it is to reduce our ecological footprints and live, work, and play in sustainable environments. Thank you for your effort to bring about awareness and jobs, protect human health, and save our environment, April!

That is when we compare services vs. products that use consumer 70-30. In Europe is 50-50 services over products. We must change our “Consumerism” mentality and step out of the consumers society to start the green society of conservation and restoration. If we buy less we save and create less waste too. Buying local only will establish a green economy, utilizing local land for produce. Data sets indicate that cities that take community standards of farmer’s market approach have less crime, and more healthy life styles.

I cries to see the poor and weak people in the most countries who are not able to journey their life. They do not using their unskilled and homeless. But, in fact, they done something as like as ‘green’ minded as Scavengers….!
