A new Worldwatch report, entitled Creating Sustainable Prosperity in the United States: The Need for Innovation and Leadership, assesses the country's environmental record and calls for a broad range of policy innovations that would help boost the sustainability of the U.S. economy while maintaining people's overall well-being and quality of life. The report, authored by Gary Gardner, outlines a series of cogent and practicable policy measures that can be instituted today to put the United States on a more sustainable path. These include shifting from an income tax to a progressive consumption tax, creating more standard eco-labeling for products, encouraging more producer "take-back" opportunities, and promoting a more feasible renewable energy market.
