Natural Step

Natural Step

Environmental organization founded in Sweden in 1989, with branches in the USA, Australia, and the Netherlands. NS focuses on industrialists and policymakers, encouraging them to cooperate towards more ecological practices. The ten largest Swedish companies have formed links with NS.

NS was founded with money from companies and trade unions by cancer physician Karl-Henrik Robèrts. His criteria for ‘sustainable development’ are: Does the activity reduce the use of finite mineral resources? Does it reduce the use of long-lived synthetic products or molecules? Does it preserve or increase natural diversity and the capacity of ecocycles? Does it reduce consumption of energy and other resources?

A little later, finding an excuse to leave, he drove into town on a mission so foreign to his iron-clad character that it seemed to cry against his every instinct, but which, for all that, he did with such simplicity as to indicate that it was the most natural step imaginable.
Dust by Haldeman, Julius Mr. and Mrs. View in context
