Forum and City of Palo Alto invite you to an Earth Day Forum

THE BUSINESS OF SUSTAINABILITY: ACCOUNTING FOR THE EARTH

A "Restorative Economy" accounts for environmental protection and the
limits of nature in the production, distribution and disposal of goods
and services. Industrial Ecology (IE) is one of the approaches which
is quickly gaining ground as companies endeavor to profitably reduce
their impact on the environment. IE takes the natural model of
advanced productivity and applies it to business, showing how to
leverage small amounts of physical resources into tremendous
creativity, productivity, and profit.<fontfamily><param>Times</param>
