Reconciling ecology and economy
in the service of the common good
What if we did not produce any more waste?
What if production systems regenerated our ecosystems?
What if we replaced unemployment with an abundance of jobs and innovations that make sense?
What if our economy generated more income and happiness for all?
The Blue Economy is the place where the best for health and the environment is the least expensive and where the necessities of life are free thanks to a local system of production and consumption that works with what you have. The Blue Economy is the philosophy of Zeri (Zero emissions research and initiatives) in action.
The Blue Economy is a vast universe carried by many actors and materialized in many ways, this website aims to make you discover the Blue Economy, to better understand it and to familiarize you with this universe. To understand the role of each actor in order to evaluate where you belong!
Drawing inspiration from the nature that surrounds us in order to take what is necessary, working in symbiosis with the living, living on the planet in harmony with the ecosystems that make it up… This is what the blue economy proposes.
A new way of approaching daily life that promotes regeneration, autonomy and abundance, to improve the relationship of each person to his or her environment, as well as to encourage harmonious cohabitation between humans.
