strategy is something all interested groups and sectors need. Again because ecological value must be embedded in all areas of society, movement strategy is primary, with state policy being derivative of strategy. Policy emerges from strategy, because enlightened government policy realizes that it can do very little in a vacuum. Green change is, by definition, organic change. It needs to be qualitative, but it can only happen gradually and incrementally. Green economic development, as Robert Rodale (1985) used to argue, is like ecological plant succession. The key is to create green pioneer enterprises that can thrive in the barren economic landscape of industrial capitalism, and yet prepare the ground for enterprises that are increasingly ecological and democratic as the playing field becomes both more fertile and increasingly stacked against brown development. The notion of organic change has also been echoed in many of the recent writings of industrial ecology. For some time, eco-industrial development was seen as essentially the creation of virtually ecotopian closed-loop industrial parks. Current thinking is stressing the need to begin with existing relationships among many stakeholders, and to simultaneously see the bigger relationships these exist within. According to the late Ed Cohen-Rosenthal (2003, p. 21), we need to understand that eco-industrial connections occur all of the time in all kinds and sizes of businesses and communities. This occurs in advanced industrial companies It also occurs at the traditional village commerce level in many developing countries where webs of relationships broaden capacity, redirect waste towards reuse and manage inventory, among other functionsIn eco-industrial development, the issues of scale are central. Holonic solutions, which operate simultaneously at various scales, from the product to the workplace to the company to the region, provide different dimensions and call for different strategies.
