This document discusses the limitations of using Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the sole measure of a nation's well-being and progress. It argues that GDP does not account for important factors like environmental protection, community support, health, education, work-life balance, and overall life satisfaction. As an alternative, it presents the concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) which was developed in Bhutan and considers multidimensional domains like standard of living, mental well-being, community, environment, and governance. The document outlines how GNH has been measured and applied at the national level in various countries and communities to help guide policymaking and improve citizens' lives in a more holistic way.

- Tell a story here and let this slide stand by itself. “Now I want to tell you a story. Imagine tomorrow you woke up – and had a really bad day. You left the stove on, happened to burn the house or apartment complex down, on your way to work, you caused a terrible accident that killed three people – blood all over the street, a huge traffic jam – you get to work and your spouse calls you – he or she wants a divorce and promises its going to be long, messy and very expensive. YOU HAVE DONE GREAT THINGS FOR GDP today. Now let’s imagine another scenario: You wake up, it’s a weekend morning, you spend a leisurely morning picking fruit in the garden and making your loved ones breakfast, then you all go for a walk through the neighborhood- you do not go to the gym- and when you get home you decide to spend the afternoon talking, reading to each other and playing a board game – not going to the movies. YOU ARE MISERABLE - YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING FOR GDP. Robert Kennedy pointed out that our Gross National Product "measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile." Genuine Progress Indicator Cheat Sheet. The goal of the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is an alternative to the Gross Domestic Product . It accounts for health care. childcare, volunteering, income distribution,, safety, a clean environment, and other indicators of well-being.. The purpose of the GPI is to shift economic policy towards sustainability. It is used by governmental and non-governmental organizations worldwide. Because the GDP and the GPI are both measured in monetary terms, they can be compared on the same scale. Download report: The Genuine Progress Indicator 2006 The GPI starts with the same personal consumption data that the GDP is based on and maker some adjustments:ADD Housework, Volunteering, and Higher Education - GPI includes the value of this work figured at the approximate cost of hiring someone to do it. The GPI also takes into account the non-market benefits associated with a more educated population. ADJUST Income Distribution - GPI rises when the poor receive a larger percentage of national income, and falls when their share decreases. Changes in Leisure Time - When leisure time increases, the GPI goes up; when Americans have less of it, the GPI goes down. Lifespan of Consumer Durables & Public Infrastructure - GPI treats the money spent on capital items as a cost, and the value of the service they provide year after year as a benefit for private capital items and to public infrastructure, such as highways. SUBTRACT Resource Depletion GPI counts the depletion or degradation of wetlands, forests, farmland, and nonrenewable minerals (including oil) as a current cost. Pollution - GPI subtracts the costs of air and water pollution as measured by actual damage to human health and the environment. Long-Term Environmental Damage - GPI treats as costs the consumption of certain forms of energy and of ozone-depleting chemicals. It also assigns a cost to carbon emissions to account for the catastrophic economic, environmental, and social effects of global warming. Crime - GPI subtracts the costs arising from crime. Defensive Expenditures - GPI counts defensive expenditures as costs rather than as benefits. Dependence on Foreign Assets - GPI counts net additions to the capital stock as contributions to well-being, and treats money borrowed from abroad as reductions. If the borrowed money is used for investment, the negative effects are canceled out. But if the borrowed money is used to finance consumption, the GPI declines.

- A story: Every movement, organization and effort needs a story. One way to address this is to tell your own story. You can also tell the story depicting need or impact, but often addressing people on a personal level helps kick off a talk and gets people engaged if they can relate to you. Who is here: If you have time, get each person to say their name. If not enough time (the usual), some options: - have people introduce themselves to their neighbors ask for hands up or stand up for sectors- government, education, business, not-for-profit, etc. - ask people to stand up of they represent certain sectors or interest. Some do this so everyone ends up standing up to demonstrate a sense of connection and community
- This is a long quote, but if you have time, worth it. You can have someone from the audience read it. You can see the speech here http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=z7-G3PC_868#t=967s
