Thomas Friedman, NYT, on a geo-green strategy: "combining environmentalism and geopolitics is the most moral and realistic strategy the U.S. could pursue today."

Bill Greider, in The Nation on new thinking about investment strategy: high returns over the long term, as needed, for instance, by large public pension funds, will come only from companies with sound environmental and workforce strategies.

"The current laissez-faire, let-'er-rip system damages important social values--equitable treatment of workers, the environment and other commonly shared public assets--and that both workers and retirees (and the state taxpayers who put up the money for public pension funds) have a strong self-interest, personal as well as financial, in husbanding the distant future: a healthy society and strong economy for themselves and their families."
