Natural Capitalism

Any economic system that incentivizes profit based on proper care of the environment. In other words, natural capitalism assigns an economic value to stewardship of the planet. Income from natural capital includes yield from trees and plants. Natural capitalism assumes that goods and services have a value apart from their potential sale price on the market. Natural capitalism remains largely theoretical.
