The father of economics, Adam Smith, developed the classical economics in 1776 which advocates the laissez-faire market. However, in the 20th century, due to the vicious circle of intense competition and the centralization of capital of the free economics, there is an outbreak of economic crisis. Even though various economic reformations such as the macroeconomics and the neoclassical economics etc. the arduous issues of the economics still have not been solved. In the era where there are many yet to be solved arduous issues such as economic inequality, climatic change and the energy crisis, the green economy has become the most popular and important subject.
As Taiwan is an island country and rely on import of various resources the sustainable development is even more important. The Executive Yuan formed “Working Committee on Global Environmental Change Policy” in 1994 and expanded it as “National Council for Sustainable Development” in 1997 to promote sustainable development. The government''s policies gave fresh impetus to industry to invest capital and manpower in the green domain and to take the initiative. This study introduces the environmental economics, ecological economics, green economics and blue economics through the development of the green principle and describes the status of the green economic in Taiwan through the environmental, societal and economical analysis of the sustainability indicators. As for the blue economic Taiwanese industries such as Topgreen and S. café etc. are used to explain the sustainability of the cradle-to-cradle approach. Although both the green and blue economics aim to achieve sustainable development green economic connotes equity and justice where everyone is created equal and future generations’ welfare must be considered whereas the blue economic believe that economic development should not be subjected to limited resources. In other words, the blue economic is focused on the industry economic and emphasizes the output value and cost which meets the demand of industry better. The green economic are more extensive, not confined to industry economic but also the psychological need, justice, welfare etc. which should be considered by the government. Regardless of the green or blue economics, earth will eventually move towards sustainable development.
