Issues
• Automation of blue-collar work.• Degradation & outsourcing of blue-
collar work: globalization.• Undervaluing of Resources: labour-
vs. resource-productivity• ‘Automation’ of white-collar work• De-marketization of production & the
Commons.• A crisis of “jobs” or a Crisis of
Remuneration?• Is Fordist-era manufacturing the
solution?

End-Use & the Green Economy
1. The Service Economy“Hot Showers and Cold Beer”
Nutrition, Illumination, Entertainment, Access, Shelter, Community, etc.
2. The “Lake Economy”Economic Biomimicry, flowing with nature,
Every output an input, Closed-loop organization, Let nature do the work

A Green Economy-2
• Substitutes human creativity for resources & energy: shift in labour/resources balance.– Human development should be the primary
strategy for sustainability
• Eco-production: high “eyes to acres” ratio. Efficiency depends on participation.
![Page 8: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Soft Energy Path
• A flexible diverse mix of energy supply • Primacy of Renewable energy sources • Focus on End-use, on Conservation, and on
efficiency of use • Energy matched to the task at hand in both
QUALITY and SCALE • Participation-oriented structure--in both
production and consumption • People-intensive development and Job-
creation

3-D’s of Green Development
• Dematerialization• Detoxification
• Decentralization
![Page 10: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Dematerialization & the ESCO model
• Savings as a virtual source of energy• The Green Economy: creates Wealth through
savings (or dematerialization) • Savings as a source of Investment
Challenge of financial design: dealing with first costs
![Page 11: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Basic Question:
• If the green economy requires dematerialization, how does that affect manufacturing?
• industrialism and production-for-production’s-sake
• new role of manufacturing in servicing human need.
![Page 12: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Human Development in the Green Economy
• Production: human creativity the key
• Consumption: “end-use” Direct targeting of human need = massive resource savings
• Regulation: participation at all levels.
![Page 13: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
People/ Work / “Human Capital”
• importance of Creativity in postindustrial economics.
• knowledge-based production
• displacing resources from production & circulation.
• education & training: continual learning, learning & doing, self-actualization, community development.
![Page 14: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Manufacturing & the Ecological Service Economy
• Subordination to Mission / end-use / need / quality• Waste Equals Food • Dematerialization of Production and Higher
Resource Efficiency• Reduction of the Speed of Resource Flow through
the Economy• Appropriate Scale• Regenerative Work is Created• New Rules & Closed Loops: LCA and EPR
![Page 15: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Financial & Property Design
• Internalizing the externalized
• monetary system
• Ownership & stewardship: responsibility & liability design
• EPR, Service Economy
• Ecological Tax Reform / tax shifting
• Intellectual property
![Page 16: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Another Central Question:
• do we have a crisis of insufficient work, or insufficient paid work?
• maybe the issue is of how to properly remunerate necessary work.
![Page 17: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Remuneration & Qualitative Wealth
• Sever work and income?
• Wages: tied to certain kinds of production & markets. Public goods not so well served by markets.
• Economic insecurity: closely related to environmental destruction.
• basic incomes? community currencies?
![Page 18: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Design Considerations in Production
• Craft: money and the economy of labour time in a Quality-oriented economy
• Production and Eco-infrastructure– the production of food, energy and water via
natural process

The Centrality of the Landscape
“The industrial age replaced the natural processes of the landscape with the global machine…while regenerative design seeks now to replace the machine with landscape.”
…John Tillman Lyle

The Economy in Loops
![Page 21: Manufacturing in a Green Economy. Eco-Design Issues Automation of blue-collar work. Degradation & outsourcing of blue- collar work: globalization. Undervaluing.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052820/55147fc5550346b0158b5765/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Industrial Ecology & Service
• Ecosystem model: nature-imitating• Industrial ecostructure: Reuse-based Manufacturing• entails new levels of producer liability• reduces both the flow of resources and their speed
through the economy• encourages local/regional economies, and• facilitates high skill levels

Benign Materials & the Carbohydrate Economy
• plant matter as the original source of synthetics & plastics– biological revolution & genetic engineering: make
possible cheaper & more prolific creation of enzymes. – biochemicals: less toxic & degrade more quickly than
petrochemicals.– detergents, paints, dyes, inks, adhesives, fabrics,
building materials, etc.
• zero discharge and industrial clusters– complete use of plant materials– plantations, biorefineries and green cities
