Editing Eco-efficiency

The term '''eco-efficiency''' is used in some [[Government of Canada]] and is defined as "a practical and systematic approach to setting and achieving environmental performance objectives in business."

"It is a management philosophy which encourages businesses to become more competitive, more innovative and more environmentally responsible."

"It means "doing more with less." It�s about creating quality products and services while reducing resource use, waste and pollution along the entire value chain."

"It is more than just meeting environmental regulations. It is not only about managing waste and pollution after a business is created, it is about businesses that prevent and minimize waste in the first place. 
Eco-efficiency links environmental performance to financial performance: more efficient processes save money and benefit the environment."

''some of this terminology would be useful in the [[Consumerium:Executive summary]], at least it is something that is known to be used by *someone*.''
