Hi Silklisters, I was reading this morning about a UN sponsored report that tries to factor in the true costs of industries around the world including environmental costs which, according to the report, are usually externalized to show unrealistic profits. It also says that social costs are not even on the radar, let alone consciously externalized.
http://www.exposingtruth.com/new-un-report-finds-almost-no-industry-profitable-if-environmental-costs-were-included/#ixzz3X7tzZS2h The website's name made me skeptical of the extent of their claims and I wanted to check your thoughts on this. The original report by Trucost is available here: http://www.trucost.com/_uploads/publishedResearch/TEEB%20Final%20Report%20-%20web%20SPv2.pdf Best regards, Rajesh.
