blue economy
The blue economy does not recycle, it regenerates!
Do not ask the earth too much,
do more with what it already produces.
The red economy is that which we know and which leads to global bankruptcy . It is an economy that borrows from everyone, nature and humanity, without thinking of reimbursing one day.
The green economy requires that companies are increasingly investing and consumers pay more , for results and products that are certainly concerned with the environment, but equivalent or even lower. Difficult in times of crisis! Despite its laudable objectives and efforts, the green economy has failed to become lasting or viable.
Are we going to seek to live in harmony with earth and its representatives or will we continue our consumer and destructive extravagances?
Are we going to learn to produce and cohabit peacefully or are we going to self-turn, drowned in our excess and our waste?
Blue economy
A new economic and social model
Red economy
Individualist
linear destructive inequality of wealth
dependence
The red economy is the consequence of progress and innovation, in which we do not care about the disproportionate consumption of natural resources to provide for the needs of energy production and manufactured goods.
Green economy
Collective
circular protector lesser evil
resilience
It was under the label of green economy that the first alternative energy manufacturing projects were born from solar and wind. It is an economy that wants to be resilient, but which does not offer a final and lasting solution.
Blue Economy
Symbiotic
ecosystem regenerative abundance
autonomy
The blue economy as defined by Gunter Pauli is that of the regeneration of ecosystems in a logic of abundance and autonomy. To be inspired by nature to take the right necessary and make sure to operate in symbiosis with it.
Abundance at hand
The blue economy does not recycle, it regenerates! It is an economic model that produces neither emissions nor waste but which allows the creation of jobs, social cohesion and is not more expensive .
If nothing changes, we will need another land.
And the first step will consist in finding ways to convert waste into raw materials for other uses and to look for what is easily and abundantly available, at a lower cost because there is little valued so far. This is how nature works .
Ecosystems never evolve towards monopoly situations dominated by a minority. Because in nature, each ecosystem reaches self -sufficiency. What seems to be at first limited is, when you pay attention to it, abundant and diverse . Even better, the greater the abundance, the more efficiency (do more with less) and diversity (each species benefiting others) are developed.
To hurt is bad!

others dream of changing reality.

New perspectives, new production systems
Activities from the blue economy, capable of offering jobs to everyone , are within our reach. In the wild, everyone contributes to their best and no one is considered to be useless (unlike our modern societies where millions of young people seek in vain for a job and a goal in their lives). New production systems and business models will be based on the way nature uses physics and biochemistry to build complete systems, operating in harmony, without waste or loss of energy.
As we go from a linear perception to a cyclic, evolutionary and regenerative model, we can also shape our behaviors and our practices to ensure that everyone's basic needs are satisfied, and that our blue planet , with All its inhabitants are moving towards a better future.
Innovate for the good of all
Competitiveness consists in exploiting and optimizing innate virtues and values connecting the unexploited local potential ... Like a natural system, where the seeds remain fallow to germinate with an amazing vigor in the first rain, releasing joy and happiness when Conditions of a full -minded life are met in balance and harmony.
Innovative business models are able to put competitive products and services that meets basic needs, while creating share capital and improving conscious life and in harmony with nature.
The blue economy meets everyone's basic needs with what we have, by introducing innovations inspired by nature , generating multiple advantages, including jobs and social capital, offering more with less.
The crises is a form of pressure capable of giving us the energy necessary to find new solutions.
The 19 principles of blue economy
Draw inspiration from nature
(and water)
- Favor physics (with the help of geometry and mathematics)
- Know how to no longer be linear
- Optimize and co-evolution
- Diversity
- Go beyond organic (and biodegradable)
Change game rules
(business)
- Interconnect problems creates opportunities
- Put back nature in the sense of its evolution
- Keep free and cleanliness of the commons
- First satisfy the basic needs (of all)
- Use what we already have
- Replace anything with nothing
- Value everything: everything has a value, each creates value
- Be healthy and happy
Live on its
territory
- Make on the savings of perspective
- Generate multiple outlets from an initiative
- Integrate vertically (primary and secondary sectors)
- Manage without business plan (or Excel calculation sheets)
- Decide from the financial statements (assessment & income statement)
- Put ethics at the center
