Gunter Pauli: «Suivre la sagesse de la nature» Le créateur de la fondation ZERI (Recherche et initiatives pour zéro pollution) prône une économie s’inspirant des écosystèmes naturels pour résoudre les crises économique, sociale et écologique. Qu’est-ce que l’«économie bleue» ? C’est un modèle qui suit la sagesse des écosystèmes. Ils fournissent énergie et aliments, recyclent les déchets, répondent aux besoins de tous et se régénèrent sans cesse. La nature excelle en termes de créativité, d’adaptabilité et d’abondance. C’est donc une économie non polluante, créatrice d’emplois, de cohésion sociale et même de valeur.

Je l’oppose à «l’économie rouge» actuelle, caractérisée par l’endettement, le gaspillage, les confortables comptes en banque d’une minorité et l’explosion du chômage. L’économie bleue va aussi au-delà de la «verte» : chère et subventionnée, elle n’a pas de sens non plus. Cela ressemble à l’économie circulaire. Celle-ci est une bonne approche, mais il faut aller bien au-delà. Pourquoi, à votre avis ? Est-ce une première ? Home. On April 6, 1994 Gunter Pauli arrived in Tokyo at the invitation of Heitor Gurgulino de Souza, then Rector of the United Nations University who with the support of the Japanese Government decided to create a think tank which was to imagine a competitive business model in a world guided by the Kyoto Protocol. Twenty years later, the philosophy of zero emissions, where waste is converted to revenues, and unused yet widely available resources are cascading into a chain of value generation, can look back at nearly 200 implemented projects, the generation of €4 billion in investments and an impact as a concept that created to an estimated 3 million jobs.

The most widely copied project is the farming of mushrooms on coffee (+1,000), the most advanced is the biorefinery with the inauguration of the first and second phase in Porto Torres, Italy in a few months. After all, whatever we pioneer, we need to inspire the next generation, pioneering beyond what we could ever imagine. 50 Places To Buy Affordable Ethical Fashion Brands Online | Ethical Fashion and Clothing Blog.

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will probably have read my moans and groans in the past about how difficult it can be to find a good choice of ethical and affordable fashion. I have in the past used this as an excuse for not buying ethically. But recently, whilst bumbling around the internet I have come across more and more ethical fashion brands which I really like. Whilst I agree ethical fashion on the high street is still pretty rare, I think there is actually now a reasonably good selection of places to buy ethical and affordable fashion.

In fact I have just launched my own website for affordable ethical fashion online which features over 140 ethical fashion brands including Timberland Earth Keepers, Melissa Shoes and many more! I decided to try and prove myself wrong about the lack of choice and compile a list of 50 online places to buy affordable ethical fashion online.
