Solutions
Measure Gross National Happiness
Society needs to measure happiness as carefully as we do financial indicators such as income or gross domestic product. And we need to use these measurements to shape public policy.
Prove Safety First with New Chemicals
There are some 85,000 synthetic chemicals approved for commercial use today, but few have been tested for their effects on human health. We need to test them before putting them into widespread use.
