The United States isn't broke; we're the richest country on the planet
and a country in which the richest among us are doing exceptionally
well. But the truth is, our economy is broken, producing more pollution,
greenhouse gasses and garbage than any other country. In these and so
many other ways, it just isn't working. But rather than invest in
something better, we continue to keep this 'dinosaur economy' on life
support with hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax money. The Story
of Broke calls for a shift in government spending toward investments in
clean, green solutions—renewable energy, safer chemicals and materials,
zero waste and more—that can deliver jobs AND a healthier environment.
It's time to rebuild the American Dream; but this time, let's build it
better. www.storyofstuff.org
