HLMDI Community News: The Eco Life Magazine has welcomed the dedication of a section for promoting the Blue Economy approach as envisioned by Professor Günter Pauli for Sustainable Community and Healthy Life Styles development. The Blue Economy first edition was a collection of 100 sustainable innovations that create 100 million jobs in 10 years. (see: www.zeri.org, www.blueeconomy.eu, www.theblueeconomy.org)

The book's major arguments against the conventional wisdom is that "quality shouldn't mean expensive" , "local assets are  more important than global assets for development". The major intangible assets such as culture and tradition as well as tangible assets such as the ecological resources are locally available and sufficient for the foundation of a sustainable rural or regional economy .
