http://www.kaboodle.com/pg?pid=AAAAAU99n4IzLSTqnU7_pQAAAAAABsHA What is Ethonomics? The end of the modern financial system as we know it has cleared the way for an era of ethical economics, or &quot;Ethonomics.&quot; We live in a world that's resource-constrained but ingenuity-rich. So an upstart generation of entrepreneurs--and innovators within the world's biggest companies--are founding businesses that are good for the world as well as the bottom line. They are practicing social change through urban revitalization, sustainable agriculture, green IT, alternative energy and online community-powered investing. Any business that claims to be truly sustainable and innovative should be increasingly efficient with energy and natural resources, transparent and accountable, and good on balance for people and other living things. Ethonomics is a hybrid of technology, design, and social responsibility, and at Fast Company we believe it is the future of business. But we're not breathless cheerleaders for every daisy-splashed widget that comes down the pike. We have a skeptical eye out for greenwashing by large and small companies alike, and are impatient with lofty claims that stray too far from the marketplace or from Main Street. Our duty is to keep it honest; our promise to our audience is to keep our coverage clear-eyed and entertaining. In the reality-based world of ethonomics, good results are more important than good intentions.

This is most commonly referred to as the &quot;triple bottom line.&quot; By definition, the Green Economy is: * Environmentally sustainable, based on the belief that our biosphere is a closed system with finite resources and a limited capacity for self-regulation and self-renewal. We depend on the earth&rsquo;s natural resources, and therefore we must create an economic system that respects the integrity of ecosystems and ensures the resilience of life supporting systems. * Socially just, based on the belief that culture and human dignity are precious resources that, like our natural resources, require responsible stewardship to avoid their depletion. We must create a vibrant economic system that ensures all people have access to a decent standard of living and full opportunities for personal and social development. * Locally rooted, based on the belief that an authentic connection to place is the essential pre-condition to sustainability and justice. The Green Economy is a global aggregate of individual communities meeting the needs of its citizens through the responsible, local production and exchange of goods and services. ~ The Global Citizen Center Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:22:20 PST http://www.kaboodle.com/pg?pid=AAAAAU99n4IzLSTqnU7_pQAAAAAABsHA#AAAAAU99n4IAAAAAAAyXJw http://www.kaboodle.com/pg?pid=AAAAAU99n4IzLSTqnU7_pQAAAAAABsHA &quot;The challenge is either to build an economy that is sustainable or to stay with our unsustainable economy until it declines. It is not a goal that can be compromised. One way or another, the choice will be made by our generation, but it will affect life on earth for all generations to come.&quot; ~Lester Brown, Worldwatch Institute Fri, 17 Nov 2006 23:41:08 PST http://www.kaboodle.com/pg?pid=AAAAAU99n4IzLSTqnU7_pQAAAAAABsHA#AAAAAU99n4IAAAAAAAxi8g http://www.kaboodle.com/pg?pid=AAAAAU99n4IzLSTqnU7_pQAAAAAABsHA &quot;Sustainability is especially ripe for political controversy and opposition because fundamentally it is a new paradigm that represents significant challenges to the status quo. The paradigm of sustainability, with its notions of limitations and carrying capacities confronts dominant paradigms of progress which do not recognize limits to unchecked growth.&quot; ~Economist Hazel Henderson Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:53:52 PST http://www.kaboodle.com/pg?pid=AAAAAU99n4IzLSTqnU7_pQAAAAAABsHA#AAAAAU99n4IAAAAAAAvGsA http://www.kaboodle.com/pg?pid=AAAAAU99n4IzLSTqnU7_pQAAAAAABsHA &quot;We are going to need an international effort pursued with the same urgency as the Manhattan Project or the Apollo space program. The roles of governments and market entrepreneurs&hellip;need to be considered comprehensively. It is our hope that the potential adverse effects of humanity on Earth's climate will stimulate new industries in the 21st century, as the Second World War and the Cold War did in (the 20th) century.&quot; Martin Hoffert, physicist, New York University, and 10 other scientists, Nature Oct 29, 1998 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:52:54 PST http://www.kaboodle.com/pg?pid=AAAAAU99n4IzLSTqnU7_pQAAAAAABsHA#AAAAAU99n4IAAAAAAAu-_w
