Vermont Takes the Lead on Alternative Measures of Economic Health

More good news!!!
Kim Tso, Cohort K

Ellen Snortland shared this story from Vermont (which she got from Kimberly Tso, also of Cohort K) that shows how


VERMONT ESTABLISHES A GENUINE PROGRESS INDICATOR, BLAZES A PATH FOR MEASURING WHAT MATTERS



Here's a quote from the article that gives you a flavor:


"In the twenty-first century, progress will increasingly depend on expanding and protecting our human, social, and environmental wealth. With its adoption of this alternative measurement system for the state, Vermont is setting a new path for responsible governance and effective decision-making in support of shared and sustainable prosperity. This is an important step forward for Vermonters and a great example for the rest of the country."

As Ellen so eloquently put it:  "The glacier has moved!!!"
