Re: The Natural Step



I took a look at the web site Toby mentioned and copied the subtext to the
four points for those interested (below).  I see that the third "condition"
is really the key here.  The other conditions are necessary for the third.
So, it seems to me that it could be rearranged a bit.  But, overall, it's
pretty good, I'd say.  I'd also agree that they have done a great job of
filling the "suit and tie" niche.  (Who is filling the "developed" middle
class niche?)

As an interesting comparison, I also copied the Deep Ecology Platform (very
below).  It aims to fill a philosophical / spiritual niche, avoiding the
anthropocentric view of the world as resource supply for humans.  There are
other such "systems", and they basically have the same message each with
its own piece to add to the total picture.

Aim to invigorate, but at least be sustainable.
