Triple Bottom Line

Environmental, economic, and social concerns are now sometimes referred to as the "triple bottom line." This idea has been gaining popularity, but many people, even those who work on environmental or social issues still believe that you can only work on one or the other and that it's a trade-off. While I think that this sentiment means that I need to be able to describe my own interests in a more precise way, I completely disagree that these three concerns are at opposition with each other, and that way of thinking disturbs me.
