Sympathetic to the message, even if parts sound written by someone doing peyote while listening to Lennon’s “Imagine”.

But can someone explain, how is this appropriate for “Nature”?

The growing field of ‹double-checks› ecological economics.

“By treating the economy as a subsystem of Earth's larger ecosystem, and by emphasizing the preservation of natural capital, the field of ecological economics is differentiated from environmental economics, which is the mainstream economic analysis of the environment.” --wikipedia

'Nature is a weekly international journal publishing the finest peer-reviewed research in all fields of science and technology on the basis of its originality, importance, interdisciplinary interest, timeliness, accessibility, elegance and surprising conclusions.'

We need to add scores for each of those so that they can be measured and compared across companies. If it's measurable then we can optimize it and reward it.
