The days of trade-offs between the environment, society, and business are over, proclaim professionals and researchers with The Natural Edge Project. They walk particularly business leaders but also other readers through the various dimensions of sustainability and the actors and forces at work in each. The themes are the need for a new paradigm, natural advantage as a business imperative, achieving a natural advantage of nations, sustainable cities, and a national collaborative approach.
