Abstract

The two main approaches to achieving ecological sustainability are examined in this paper. One is exemplified by the green business movement, while the other is exemplified by various community economy models (community-supported agriculture, e.g.). Limitations on both the supply and demand sides of economic activity are necessary for ecological sustainability. The green business paradigm is insufficient for achieving ecological sustainability, according to theoretical and empirical considerations, but the community economy may be able to do so.
