The economy is just a means to an end… (cartoon #20)<\/h4>\n

Although it seems like we always want the “economy to grow” and to make more money, it is good to remember that the economy is just a means to an end, not the end itself. In the words of the triple bottom line (environment, society, economy), the economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the environment and we have to take care of the environment that supports us. Watch our\u00a0video on the Triple Bottom Line<\/a>\u00a0(on Youtube<\/a>) for more on the subject. The original idea for this cartoon was suggested by\u00a0Ted Jan Post.<\/p>\n
