I was recently confronted by a really unimaginable concept, that green is actually brown!

If “green” means protecting the environment and conserving natural resources, then economic growth is fundamentally “brown.” 

So, when we buy organic products, recycled paper and plastics and when we think we are being green, we’re actually being brown which sounds pretty dirty to me!

The Center for the Advancement of Steady State Economy has been aggressively trying to win endorsement from conservationists around the USA. Part of their argument against continuous economic growth and for a steady state economy – although they concede that they don’t know what this would actually look like.

Does anyone actually know how we can save the planet? Is is as fragile as we think? How should we individually behave? It’s a challenge isn’t it? Should we stop in our tracks today? Can we? Is it in our nature to do so? Is this the solution for the future of our blue planet?
