Symbiosis btw Environment and Economic Growth

Yet another article here on the symbiotic relationship btw environment and economic growth. What you can get out of this article:
1) note the imagery of dieting and losing weight; like the one on the parable of the boiled frog and burning the house down whilst we're living in it, this dieting imagery is good for BANGING when it comes to intro or conclusion of qns on envmt...

2) there's the repeated point about how going green can cut energy costs...note the example of how 'smart' buildings in the US can save btw US$20-25 billion annually in energy costs.

3) envmt disaster can wreak similar havoc on the economy, e.g. floods in Thailand last year destroy crops and factories...US$46billion in economic damage!

4) economic opportunities in tackling envmt issues, i.e. lucrative green industry/eco-products such as water recycling (think S'pore's Hyflux), investment in clean or renewable technology in China
