Good News for Kermit - It's Getting Easier to be Green
So, creative thinking is now moving beyond the arts and various forms of engineering.
Ecological-socio-economic creativity is here!
For me, this is the ultimate creativity. I find creativity to be the most stimulating when it is working within constraints, or problem solving. Although this pertains to the traditional realms of creativity that I mentioned above, we are now at a time when creative problem solving is critical to our survival. Van Jones, author of The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Solve Our Two Biggest Problems (Harper One 2008), and founding president of GreenForAll.org, has found a better solution to our current major problems (global warming and the economy, as well as social equality) by combining the problems first, and then finding a solution. A SuperSolution! As in "The whole is more than the sum of its parts".
Please check out Van Jones book, the GreenForAll.org website, and his interview with Gavin Newson, mayor of San Francisco:
