We are now heading down a centuries-long path toward increasing the productivity of our natural capital - the resource systems upon which we depend to live - instead of our human capital.
Paul Hawken
We assume that everything's becoming more efficient, and in an immediate sense that's true; our lives are better in many ways. But that improvement has been gained through a massively inefficient use of natural resources.
Paul Hawken
We can no longer prosper by increasing human productivity. The more we try to do, the more poverty we will create.
Paul Hawken
What we are missing, utterly and completely, in this government is accountability.
Paul Hawken
