What you need to know about Natural Capitalism

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Capitalism, but the new theory of Natural Capitalism seems to be much more to my liking. Mother Jones, describes the idea as such;

"Everyone is familiar with the traditional definition of capital as accumulated wealth in the form of investments, factories, and equipment. "Natural capital," on the other hand, comprises the resources we use, both nonrenewable (oil, coal, metal ore) and renewable (forests, fisheries, grasslands)."
