"Today's [2002] global economy has been shaped by market forces, not by the principles of ecology. By failing to reflect the full costs of goods and services, the market provides misleading information to economic decision makers at all levels. This has created a distorted economy out of sync with the Earth's ecosystem--an economy that is destroying its natural support systems." (MOTHER EARTH NEWS) This article examines ways in which the economy must change in order for the environment to recover from all of the damage done by industries.
