Report on Green Economy event – Developing the New Economy

Almost 150 people attended a morning event on Wednesday January 26th, in Tipperary Institute in Thurles, encouraging people to explore the opportunities for new businesses and livelihoods in the “green” economy.
The conclusion of the event was that “Green” is no longer specific to environmentalists or activists. Green is as much about savings and efficiency. In a world of scarce resources, there are enormous business opportunities opening up in transforming the old wasteful way of doing things, moving the nature of business into the business of nature.
