Thanks for this. I just saw a snippet
of the programme – looks interesting. I like
your end quote from Mahatma Ghandi – but no
one paid any attention – even leading env
leaders. The main question is not what is the
value of nature, but what is the value of
money? that we should strip nature of all the
benefits it has and continues to give us. Our
economic systems are based upon consumption
as a driver of economic growth..and rightly
so China and India are already becoming more
affluent and thus on the same destructive path
way of the developed economies. A green economy
will not solve the problem if we do not address
the issue of economic growth and consumption.
We need a dramatic turn around. How can you
justify a plane trip in europe for 20 Euro..
yes the market is working but who is paying for that cost?
