"green" more mainstream?
This is the question tackled in a recent study sponsored by

VITETTA. Based on extensive research and focus group discussions, the study identifies
three main barriers to building green and proposes solutions for dismantling them. Read

Of Natural Selection
and the Invisible Hand...
The key challenge of the next decade, and indeed the next
century, will be to align business behavior -- the production of goods and services --
with limits that natural systems can sustain. Profit, that exquisitely symbolic
manifestation of survival and reproductive success, must be attached to means of
production that can be carried out sustainably.
Adam Davis muses about the relationship between economics,
natural selection, and the environment in a recent www.Greenbiz.com column. Read the column by clicking here.
