Tom Green is a Vancouver, Canada-based ecological economist who studied briefly with Herman Daly and is now working on his Ph.D. in green economics at the University of British Columbia. He has brought an ecological economics perspective to forestry, resource and economic development issues since 1996 and has worked for a coalition of environmental groups to help secure both human well-being and ecosystem integrity in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest. He is hopeful that within his lifetime, mainstream economists will admit there are ecological limits and that there might be more meaning to life on earth than making money and shopping.
