One way to
transform the global economic system is to create a Better World Industry to rival
the huge infrastructure that is in place for our culture of violence and profits-before-people.
The
Better World Industry will promote products and practices that show that not only
is creating a better world desirable, but it can be profitable. Then, creating
a better world will become popular. Then, creating a better world will become
an accepted option and goal for individuals and society. Once this happens, corporations
will adopt better world practices in order to win customers' business. Eventually,
all businesses will become better world businesses or they won't be able to survive.
Products
that currently promote a better world include "green" products and services
that promote the well being of planet earth, as renewable energy alternatives.
The
BetterWorld Shopping Guide (BetterWorldShopper.org) grades products and services
in 75 categories based on environmental and social responsibility. This pocket-sized
book is a valuable tool for helping to make every dollar count for a better world.
(Also Check out Co-Op America's GreenPages.org for lots of "green businesses.")
The Better
World Industry includes companies like Working Assets and Newman's Own which use
profits to help create a better world. If you are an entrepreneur or business
owner, help the Better World Movement to grow by offering products and services
that promote a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, and let the world know
that you are helping to grow the better world movement.
Creating a
Better World can be profitable. A Better World Industry will transform the global
economy.
