Green,
Inc. shows that economic growth does not have to be at the expense of
environmental protection. For the poor, growth is essential to eliminate the
threats to health and environmental security that poverty presents. The more
affluent may be unwilling to sacrifice their living standards, even for a
cleaner environment. The question is rather: how can the environmental
impact of growth be minimized? Here, the role of business is crucial.
New technologies and well-designed policies have to work hand-in-hand; and
the interests of governments, companies and environmentalists lie in making
a cleaner environment an opportunity for profitability. All of them will
find this a stimulating survey and an invaluable practical guide.
