[SustainableTompkins] No Regrets Decisions

[John Miller]

Has anyone seen an analysis/projection on the net economic effects of
strong sustainable policy/actions in energy, food and local
manufacturing?  I tend to think that it will have a positive effect,
create more net jobs and tax revenue.  Would be nice to see some hard
numbers (as you can probably tell, I'm having a debate with a skeptic!)
Further, after reading "Cradle to Cradle" and the likelihood that in the
not too distant future all goods can/will be produced to be recycled
into two streams (technical and biological) for true materials
sustainability- we can have a good amount of consumption in society and
still be sustainable. 
Thanks
John
