This book provides a vision for environmentalism's future, based on the success of environmental entrepreneurs around the world. The work provides the next generation of environmental market ideas and
Marketing Garbage
“It may be garbage to you, but it’s our bread and butter,” reads the sign on the side of a garbage truck. This reminder provides a great deal of insight into the free market environmental approach to pollution. In the first place, garbage represents a cost that does not result in a valuable output. Wasted fossil fuel, for example, means that heat energy has been produced but not transformed into useful mechanical energy. Wasted wood means that a …
Bureaucracy Versus Environment—The Beat Goes On
Although efforts to reserve millions of acres in the political domain were under way during the late nineteenth century, Mr.and Mrs.W.W.Beck were doing their part to preserve one little corner of the world on the outskirts of Seattle, Washington.In 1887, they bought several parcels of land with giant fir trees reaching 400 feet in height and 20 feet in diameter.The Becks built a pavilion for concerts and nature lectures and added paths, benches, …
Ecology and Energy
When energy resources are controlled by the political sector, environmentalists are pitted against exploration and development companies in a setting that encourages confrontation.This problem became especially acute during the 1970s, when the energy crisis focused a great deal of attention on the overthrust belt in the Rocky Mountains, where the federal government controls nearly half of the land.Since then, the controversy has waxed and waned w…
Priming the Invisible Pump
Mark Twain supposedly quipped: “Whiskey is for drinkin’ and water is for fightin’.” In the arid West, where water is the lifeblood of agriculture, this adage has become especially appropriate, as municipal, industrial, and environmental demands for water have grown and generated competing uses.Traditionally, growing demands have been met by increasing supplies made possible with dams and canals, such as the Central Arizona Project, which cost bil…
Taking Free Market Environmentalism Global
Most of this book has focused on U.S. environmental policy, but increasingly the environmental movement has taken environmental issues global. 1 Domestic policy regarding carbon emissions, foreign policy regarding military operations, international trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT), United Nations conferences and policies, and international law have all t…
Visions of the Environment
For most people, markets are the cause of environmental problems, not the solution. The very notion of free market environmentalism is an oxymoron. Even conservative thinkers who support free enterprise and free trade find themselves uncomfortable with the idea of letting unfettered markets determine how and when natural resources are used. Markets may work fine to produce shoes or software, but the environment is somehow different and is too pre…
Inside Our Outdoor Policy
Environmental goods generally and recreational opportunities specifically are income elastic; that is, as income rises, the demand for these goods rises faster. Since World War II, incomes for United States citizens have been rising dramatically, increasing the willingness of Americans to pay more for outdoor opportunities.Total visits to Yellowstone National Park in 1997 were 32 percent higher than in 1986; during the same period, entrance fees …
Rethinking the Way We Think
John Maynard Keynes, the British economist responsible for changing the way we think about the role of government spending and taxing to even out business cycles, aptly described the impact of ideas, foretelling his own legacy: Both when they are right and when they are wrong, the ideas of economists and political philosophers are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Even practical men, who believe …
From Free Grass to Fences
Roaming across the northern and western borders of Yellowstone National Park into Montana, the bison that spend their summers in the park enter private lands in search of winter grazing. 1 Montana cattle ranchers object to the migration, because many of the bison carry the brucellosis virus, a disease that can infect cows and cause them to abort their calves. Worse yet, if any Montana cattle are infected with brucellosis, the state will lose its …
Calling on Communities
In his influential 1968 article, “The Tragedy of the Commons,” Garrett Hardin explained why a scarce resource open to all is subject to overexploitation. 1 He used as an example of the commons a pasture open to all herdsmen for cattle grazing. Hardin pointed out that eventually the pasture will become overgrazed. The reason? Each herdsman can capture all the benefits of adding more cows, while facing only a fraction of the costs—the harm caused b…
Purity Versus Pragmatism
Given government’s less than stellar record at protecting the environment, it is hard to put faith in proposals that call for more governmental regulation to ensure environmental quality. Consider the environmental damage caused by governmental central planning in the socialist countries of Eastern Europe and in the Soviet Union prior to their collapse. Economist Mikhail Bernstam estimated that firms in these economies discharged more than twice …
Homesteading the Oceans
As one of the world’s largest commons, oceans provide a challenge for free market environmental solutions. Outside the territorial limits of sovereign countries, only weak treaties limit the use of ocean resources for fishing, mineral or energy development, shipping, and garbage disposal. With few restrictions on entry, a tragedy of the commons can occur, resulting in such problems as pollution and severely depleted fish stocks. 1 The Food and Ag…

Building Coalitions for Water Marketing
The authors argue that efficient water allocation is possible through markets as long as water rights are well-defined, enforced, and transferable. They provide a framework for considering third-party and free rider affects from water trades. From this framework, they consider the prospects for developing a market for instream flows. The analysis points to problems with the prior appropriation system for establishing instream flow claims but sugg…
