As more and more people have realized that our profit-driven industrial activity is destroying Mother Nature’s ability to support human life, the green economy has entered the mainstream. Signs of that mainstreaming are all around us: organic food sales growing at 20 percent per year for more than 10 years, renewable energy getting price competitive with fossil fuels, school systems adopting organic salad bars and getting rid of junk food, hybrid cars outselling the more polluting variety, Al Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth” setting records at the box office and winning an Oscar, mega-corporations like Wal-Mart, GE and BP proclaiming their commitment to green policies, and major business publications (e.g., Business Week, The Economist, Forbes, Fortune ) featuring glowing stories about the Green Economy.
