Ecological Economics
"Decision
making requires either explicit or implicit valuation, so it is
important to recognize the relationship between valuation and the goals
being served. There are at least three broad goals which have been
identified as important to managing economic systems within the context
of the planet's ecological life support system:
1. ecological sustainability 2. social fairness 3. resource allocation efficiency Ecological Economics is an attempt to incorporate the above ideas in a transdisciplinary effort including a full range of natural and social sciences. It has made significant progress in redefining broad social goals, valuation of human, natural and social capital relative to those goals and developing adaptive institutions to implement the new goals" ![]() |

Hello all,
I am here to provide consumers with the chance of shopping GREEN from home!!
Products that we use on a daily basis that are manufactured by companies filled with chemicals and toxins. These products that we use constantly in our households filled with contaminants don't only put pollutants into the clean water we use, but as well as are unsafe for our own physical/personal wellness. Think about how many products you may have in your household that have a "child proof" cap on them? What if you could have all those kitchen, bathroom, laudry products with out those caps? Products that you use already that are ecologically safe for everyday use with absolutely no negative impact on our lives, our environment, or the lives we touch.
If this is something you feel you would be interesting in learning more about, please do not hesitate to contact me. Message me directly through wiserearth.org's system or simply email me at zeepsjeeps@live.com">zeepsjeeps@live.com. I am here to provide this knowledge for others to get it across the USA and other countries that there are better more natural ways to follow through our daily routine. I hope that you will read this in confidence and allow me the time to share with you the way to a cleaner, safer world for ourselves and our future children.
