In recent years\, we have experienced bubbles in technology stocks\, sub prime mortgages\, and a variety of commodities \, sometimes with dire economic consequences. However\, beneath the s urface of the economy lies a huge ecological bubble -- the failure of the economy to internalize gigantic costs associated with continued gr owth\, plus the failure of the economy to adequately value the contrib ution of nature's services. The inevitable collapse of the green bubbl e must eventually lead to calamitous consequences but it will also off er some unprecedented opportunities.
