 Ecoefficiency (measures to
minimize environmental impact through the reduction or elimination of waste
from production processes) has become a goal for companies worldwide, with many
realizing significant cost savings from such innovations. Peter Senge and Goran
Carstedt see this development as laudable but suggest
that simply
adopting ecoefficiency innovations could actually worsen environmental stresses
in the future. Such
innovations reduce production waste but
do not alter the number of products manufactured nor the waste generated from
their use and discard; indeed, most companies invest in ecoefficiency
improvements in order to increase profits and growth. Moreover, there is no
guarantee that increased economic growth from ecoefficiency will come in
similarly ecoefficient ways, since in today’s global markets, greater profits
may be turned into investment capital that could easily be reinvested in old-style eco-inefficient industries.
Even a vastly more ecoefficient industrial system could, were it to grow much
larger, generate more total waste and destroy more habitat and species than
would a smaller, less ecoefficient economy. Senge and
Carstedt argue that to preserve the global environment and sustain economic
growth, businesses must develop a new
systemic approach that reduces total material use and total accumulated
waste. Focusing
exclusively on ecoefficiency, which offers a compelling business case
according to established thinking, may distract
companies from pursuing radically different products and business models.

试着解释一下哈：

文章从P何G两个人开始，对前面的结论进行转折，并未全部否认，因为see this development as laudable （值得称赞的）but suggest that simply adopting ecoefficiency innovations could actually worsen environmental stresses in the future.以后通过indeed、moreover等列举了可能带来的结果，即C
