The Green Festival, held last November in San Francisco, was a trailblazing event that illustrated the potential of the local green economy. Produced by Global Exchange, Co-op America, and Bioneers, the Green Festival "helps stimulate more green business, fair trade and fair wages, local cooperation, community building, and accountability -- and creates more connections among the people and organizations working on these issues."
Alternative building and power companies and vendors of organic food, fair-trade indigenous goods, and natural-fiber clothing are just a handful of the pieces that came together to make the green-economy picture whole at the Green Festival. And the larger-than-expected crowd of 13,000 attendees proves that there is demand on the part of the American consumer.
Many Green Festival attendees reportedly asked Kevin Danaher, co-founder of Global Exchange, "How often can you do this?"
"The answer is every day," Danaher replied, "if the green-economy movement can create multiuse buildings with ground-floor green everything stores."
If you think Danaher sounds like a man with a plan, you’re right. Determined to flow with the momentum of the Green Festival, Global Exchange and other organizations are coming together to create a green architecture building that will house offices of social change organizations; ground-floor GreenMart stores; an organic, vegetarian food court; activity space; and other components.
This Global Citizen Center promises to be a hub for organizing the local green economy while providing employment and training opportunities for individuals within the communities in which they are located.
Global Exchange hopes that the success of this venture in San Francisco will provide crucial lessons for replicating the model in other cities around the world. These centers can then be networked in a manner that maintains local autonomy, yet assembles enough economic power to challenge the dominance of transnational corporations. The goal is to build a new economy from the grassroots up -- as Danaher puts it, "an economybased on life values and citizen empowerment rather than money values and corporate control."
In the meantime, more Green Festivals will be taking place -- in Austin, Texas, Oct. 11-12 and again in San Francisco Nov. 8-9 -- and organizers hope to extend to other cities in the future. [br] What is the objective of green economy?
选项
A、It aims to develop art economy that can provide more job-opportunities.
B、It aims to create an economy that emphasizes values of human being rather than those of money.
C、It aims to innovate the present economy by adding environment protection elements.
D、It aims to transform the present economy into a new type.
答案
B
解析
主旨大意题。本文通过描述绿色节日展出的情况,阐述了绿色经济的主要目的:从根本上建立起—种新型经济。而最后引用达纳赫的话是对这一目的的最好阐述,这与选项B的意思基本一致。
