What are your ideas for making sustainable development synonymous with prosperity?

It’s been argued that our current environmental problems will never be resolved until countries shift their main priority from economic growth to environmental health. How can we change people’s mindsets so that they value being green just as much as they do being rich?

I think some obvious ways to do this are through public awareness programs, education systems and celebrity endorsements. The wealthy must be persuaded to embrace renewable energy and recycled products. Some of these elements are already in place, but I think there’s more we can do.
