女性和绿色经济
“女性与绿色经济”是2011世界地球日的六大内容之一,其主题是希望对女性提供新思维与创造力,以加速全球绿色经济持续性发展。
国际环保组织Earth Day Network表示,女性占世界人口一半以上,主导85%的消费选择,是领导全球走向可持续性发展的关键力量。他们在考虑成立一个叫“女性与绿色经济”的组织,希望聚集有潜力和成功的女性,透过发展绿色经济走向可持续性环境发展、解决全球变暖问题。
今年地球日前,主妇联盟环境保护基金会在台北举行「女性绿色经济论坛」,第一次将国内性别、环保、经济3项议题结合讨论。近年来,有很多女性自行创业成功,透过个人的故事,向消费者传播公平贸易、资源再利用等绿色消费概念,同时他们也可以获取合理的报酬和利润。
