green economics notes: focus on health of the
biosphere and human well-being, distrust capitalism for its emphasis
on economic growth, consider capitalistic damage as uneconomic
growth that lowers the overall quality of life. Greens refer
to productivism, consumerism and scientism as 'grey', contrast to
'green'. Economic policies should safeguard the
environment. 'dirty' subsidies harmful, ... a green tax shift
would encourage ecologically friendly choices.
