For many people the word “green” has become a way to sum up a new world culture. It’s a culture that puts the environment first with things like renewable energy and special building design. A green culture is thriving in places such as Portland, Oregon and Copenhagen, Denmark.
But many believe this new world cu is more than just “green.” They talk of “the culture of sustainability,” which integrates social and economic concerns with a greener outlook. For example, sustainability means more business and government investment in renewable energy because, when we import less oil, we’re less dependent on countries such as Iran, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.
