The Blue Economy by Gunter Pauli - 10 Years, 100 Innovations, 100 Million Jobs

 

The Blue Economy by Gunter Pauli began as a project to find one hundred of the best nature-inspired technologies that could effect the economies of the world, while sustainably providing basic human needs - potable water, food, jobs and healthful shelter. Starting with 2,231 peer review articles Dr. Pauli found 340 innovations that could be bundled into systems that function the way ecosystems do.  These were then additionally reviewed by a team of corporate strategists, expert financiers, and public policy makers. Many of the innovations inspired by nature are so interesting by themselves it is easy to forget that the key to the book is their integration with real world economies as ways to provide sustainable benefits to the commons.
