The New Green Economy™

Community. Sustainability. Diversity. Empowerment. Right Relationship. Collaboration. These are some of the emerging values of The New Green Economy. The website is exploring the new values and the new language of sustainability. How will businesses and non profit organizations work together in the near future to address humanity's pressing challenges? How can we successfully weave business into the Earth's ecology? What is the "integrity of the whole" and how can you engage it?

Founded in 2008, www.The New Green Economy.com is taking a look at what lies beyond the consumer world. Since the Second World War, the Materials Economy has been the driving force behind U.S. economics - practices which have only spread around the globe. The name refers to the raw materials from which its products are made. The marketing and sale of these products is what keeps the Materials Economy in motion, all the while exhausting natural resources and generating incalculable amounts of waste.

In order to move beyond consumer culture, new values, perspectives, and language is needed. Natural and Social value have a new place in The New Green Economy. Modern societies must come back into alignment with natural cycles by choice because the legacy for future generations is being crafted now. The economic practices of externalizing costs and letting the environment and future generations pay the price is no longer acceptable. Clean energy, sustainable product design, healthy living and communities, and innovative social programs are the way of our common future. Join the discussion today...
