About [Edit]
Earth Economics is devoted to promoting ecosystem health and ecological economics and to halting the globalization of unsustainable economic policies. Focusing on the vital areas of toxics, forests, fisheries and global trade policy, we achieve our goals through organization, education and advocacy.
Earth Economics is based in Tacoma, Washington. The EE board includes well-known ecological economist Dr. Joshua Farley and co-founder and executive director Dave Batker.
Earth Economics is dedicated to applying the science of ecological economics to promote healthy
ecosystems, communities and economies. We work in the local Puget Sound region and around the world on projects fulfilling three primary program objectives:
- Developing
and using economic tools to support projects and policies designed to
protect and restore ecosystems and local economies.
- Providing
clients with technical training and subject matter expertise to support
effective policies for management of public and private resources.
- Reviewing current and collaborating on new international finance and trade agreements that recognize the full value of humans and the environment.
