The link between the environment and economics with Bob Keefe

Germany's “Umwelt Bundesamt” talks about the new “Green Economy. “They claim the present economic system is destroying our natural resources with the result of eroding the prosperity of future generations. They say that “Business as usual” in industrialised countries’ are resource-intensive, and with emerging countries following suit, it is not a feasible course for the future, which is why transforming into a Green Economy is necessary. . But this is Germany; what is the rest of the world saying? Are other countries, including the US, the world’s largest economy, moving towards a Green Economy with clean energy? Is a new economic development model with positive connections between ecology and economics emerging? In this episode, we explore what is going on worldwide and in the world’s biggest economy to advocate intelligent business practices and politics that link the economy and the environment with the perspective of saving our environment for future generations.
