  Thomas Hill Green
Green holds that “by reason, in the practical sense, [is meant] the capacity on the part of [the individual] to conceive of a better state of [himself] as an end to be attained by action” (PE 177).
Green attacks the view that there are moral rights which people possess merely as individuals: that is, moral rights which they possess without reference to their existence as members of a society founded on a common purpose.
Green extends this argument to claim that, by virtue of his possession of rights within a particular society, the individual has the right to non-interference from all members of all societies (to the extent that he recognises their rights to non-interference).

 Siam Future : Green economy buoyant
This is opposed to 4 percent for the economy as a whole forecasted by the Bank of Thailand and National Economic and Social Development Board, Miller Freeman (Thailand)'s executive director Muthiah Gandhi said.
With regard to green products beneficial to their health, Thais are willing to pay more, he added.
Even though current growth is based mainly on the industrial sector, which accounts for approximately 60 to 70 percent of the green market, the governmental share is showing signs of growing rapidly from this time on, he said.

 A New Strategic Focus for Progressives: The Local Green Economy
Green building is the one section of the U.S. economy where green materials and practices have penetrated most deeply.
The local economy networks fight this with education and local rule making that seeks to trap wealth in the local economy rather than having it be extracted by big corporations.
The new approach being forged by the local green economy movement is to reverse that traditional approach: get the economy organized at the grassroots level, build up from there, so that any large scale political movement (e.g., the Green Party) when it comes to power, will have already transformed the economy from the bottom up.

 A Green Economy For Hawaii
Green tourism is best expressed at small guest facilities, with limited numbers of rooms, scattered around the islands.
Hawaii's economy today is now largely dependent on the continuing growth of one industry - tourism - that rampantly destroys the environment and distorts the economy, producing grossly inflated land, housing, and cost-of-living costs, yet pays below-average wages.
Whether a "Green Economy" will come about in Hawaii is not a question of adequate theory or proven examples, but of political will and effort.

 atom economy
The percentage experimental atom economy is simply the expected mass of the reagents that are utilized in the desired product (which works out to be the same as the theoretical yield), divided by the actual total mass of all the reagents used in the experiment.
The atom economy of 100% for this reaction is not suprising since this is an addition reaction and as was indicated preciously, addition reactions have 100% atom economy.
The percentage atom economy and the percentage experimental atom economy, give one the means to quantify the atom economy, and allows for a quantitative comparison of the atom economy of one reaction (or synthesis) vs. another.

Greens seek a society where everyone develops their abilities to the greatest extent possible so that the largest number of people can participate in determining our future.
Green values require that all people have the right to vote on how to organize their work lives and how to distribute the wealth produced by collective labor.
Just as Greens participate in social struggles which may be unpopular in a white, male chauvinist society, development of a Green economic theory means that we must be willing to oppose dogmas of corporate ideology.

Green Engineering is a design philosophy that envisions designing products and systems in which environmental attributes/requirements are treated as design objectives and where the process of manufacturing, using and disposing of the products and systems has to be planned in a manner that ensures a minimal overall impact on the earth's ecological balance.
In the process of implementing green engineering, designers are constantly subjected to tradeoff analysis.
The role of engineering economy is to identify these benefits and costs as well as analyze and compare the alternatives from an economic viewpoint.

The estimates of conventional energy intensity must be interpreted carefully because terms such as "conventional", "alternative" and "green" energy are not consistently defined.
These results are due to a combination of factors, including a shift in the structure of the economy towards less energy-intensive sectors (e.g., knowledge-based, service, tourism), increased energy efficiency of existing activities, and a larger amount of energy consumption from alternative energy sources.

 Book Review: Designing the Green Economy: The Postindustrial Alternative to Corporate Globalization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Part 2 is called "Designing the Green Economy;" this is where the author puts forth a myriad of solutions to the social, political, economic, environmental, and spiritual problems created by industrialized capitalism, Marxism, Fordism, Reaganism, corporate globalism, and any other "ism" that has limited the human spirit or harmed global ecosystems in the process.
With community as the starting point of this socio economic and political transformation, the green perspective will be one of linking scale between levels of community, from neighborhood to planet.
