Its time we meet people where they're at. Here's what you need… Continue

Jim Nail The Incomplete Capitalist

That's what I've taken to calling myself these days. I believe in capitalism as the best economic system out there (or, as Winston Churchill said about democracy, its the worst system there is except for all the others). But by its own conceptual framework, it is incomplete. Here's what I mean:

The foundation of capitalism is that there are three fundamental factors of production: Land, labor, and capital. Capital is the money and the physical assets used in production. We have

Michael Salvatico Understanding Carbon Credits

Before you use a carbon credit to voluntarily offset your carbon emissions (ie your carbon footprint) you need to know what it is you are buying. There are many types of carbon credits and just like any product there is a large variation in the quality of what is being offered. You want to ensure the carbon credits are genuine. Do they provide measurable, verifiable and additional reductions in emissions? At Climakind we specialise in helping you evaluate carbon credits. Contact michael@clima… Continue

Wayne Maceyka Time to Stop Talking About Going Local, and Doing It. Here's Who Is. (pt 2 of 3)

This is Part 2 of a series of guest blog posts on local economic concepts I did for Greensmith Consulting. I hope you like it. Part 3 coming soon. We’re living in interesting times, and it’s anybody’s guess what the economy, the environment, our society will look, even in the next year.

Jim Nail Resolving the economy vs environment conflict

Traditional economic thinking relegates the environment to the status of an “externality”, which has resulted in a long-standing conflict between having a healthy economy or a healthy environment. Despite 40 years of evidence refuting this false conflict, climate change action is facing the same tired battles. I believe this conflict is rooted in deeply-held, unexamined, but outmoded assumptions of key economic principles that originated with Adam Smith 225 years ago, but haven't substantially… Continue

Jim Nail The Path to Mainstreaming LED Lighting

I’ve been writing the blog LED Lights at Home for over 2 years, and my intent has always been to review lighting products for use at home. When I started, I wrote about things like book lights and bulbs for Maglite flashlights, because that was all there was. But I knew these niche applications were important stepping stones and sources of revenues that would fund further R&D and product development to bring LEDs to mainstream. I beli… Continue
