I think the time has come to say that the Economic system we have had for the last 300-400 years has now reached its theoretical limits, and can longer serve us. We have now come to realise that we live on a Planet with limited natural resources and if we are to secure a future and good standard of living for generations to come we must be good stewerd of this fertile planet. While the idea of "Economic Growth" served us well during the fossil fuel powered Industrial revolution and has brought us up to todays technological state, we must now begin to build a new system and idea of economics. Three things I would like to focus on are as follows. 1. The Monetery System 2. Our Energy Infastructure 3. Consumption 1. It is suprising how many so called environmentalists miss the most important subject when its comes to environmental depletion, and that is our system of currency, credit and money. Our Money system parpetuates infinite Growth, when you borrow a loan from a Bank the bank attaches interest to that loan that has to be paid back, but they do not create that interest therefore it mean that we must all compete against one another to pay back our loans. This in turn is one causes bankruptencies becuese its is in essance and economics game of musical chairs, some people are always bound to defualt on there loans, er hmm 2008. I propose the following The Introduciton of Usery Rates, setting a maximum interest that can be charged at 5%. We must also outlaw the creation of money by the Private banking system and make its the sole perogative on the National Government, regulated by Parliament. 2. Energy Infastructure. This is talked about alot, I dont really need to say to much. Government investment into Wind, Wave, Solar, Geothermal, Biomass and Nuclear Fusion. Energy efficiancy in all buildings. the weaning off of fossil fuels. 3. Consumption It may upset a few people that in the future we might have to pay a bit more, but the benefits will be huge, the UK and the World have a growing waste problem. to tackle this problem we need to start at the very begining of the manufacturing process, building things that are not built to last real is criminal in environmental terms as it means endlessly throwing away valuable resources, I believe that you should be able to go and by a Mobile Phone that will alst 25+ years and the only thing you have to upgrade is the software. BUILD THINGS TO LAST. We should also do as much production as we can locally as shipping things half-way accross the world is highly expensive in environmental temrs. As for Recycling, we really need a National Policy at looking for go for a 100% recycling within the next 10 years, I believe this can be done, anything that really cannot be recycled will have to be dumped as safely with the least environmental impact as possible. Just a few ideas, I wanted to brainstorm, think they would be good for the Imperial Party.
