Abstract

City polluting the air behind two green leafsThe Green Economy is something more than the sum of all possible related efforts to create a “green” turning point in the economy. It is a revolution of the way of life of the inhabitants of the planet to try to change a system that is leading us to self-destruction. The facts speak for themselves: the human factor is affecting the climate with vast greenhouse gas emissions due not only to the exploitation of fossil fuels but also to deforestation, agriculture and intensive livestock farms, and of course industrialization. The Green Revolution is thus the first collective effort to save the species. It has just started, but like all revolutions that start from the bottom it will make changes to our reality that become normality.
