In the Washington Post today, they reported that both industrialized and developing must wean themselves off of fossil fuels and get to net zero carbon output to keep from causing global warming to increase.  We can stop talking about just halting the build-up.  If we keep the business as usual approach, the Earth will warm by an estimated 7.2 degrees by 2100.

It seems very simple,  we need to talk and plan for a net zero world of carbon.  This is great research and make planning much easier with a clear goal.

To me it seems obvious to get to this place businesses need to do a number of things to create an overall Sustainable Economy:

  • Utilize Renewable Energies
  • Close the loop on waste (CO2 and others)
  • Use green procurement approaches
  • Use sustainable materials cycles
  • Increase our overall resource efficiency
  • Move from Product to Service
