… & blue environment to all of you!!!

Dear God,

Awaken our minds for a

productive successful conference.

Touch our hearts

with the glorious oneness of all Creation,

and penetrate our souls

with the beauty of this earth.

Grant us the wisdom to realize

that we can have heaven on earth,

if we shall care for each other,

for our oceans, & for all your Creation.

Amen.

to a system-based economy.”Dr. Catia Bastioli, CEO, Novamont S.p.a, European Inventor, 2007

Blue economy: Some basic principles

•Substitute something with nothing

•Natural systems cascade nutrients, matter & energy – waste doesn’t exist

•Any by-product is the source for a new product.

But in building a blue economy as a

CCA & DRRM strategy,
