Engaging in green party politics
Synonyms:
Advocating green political theory Context:
Green policies are based on sustainable use and not on unlimited consumption. This means that the rich must limit their consumption to allow the poor their fair share of the earth's resources. The Greens favour cooperation not competition, satisfying the needs of all, not the greed of a few : The greens favour peace and security, not warfare and aggression. The ecological and social aims of green politics are compatible neither with a free market economy nor with a state-controlled economy, both of which are based on unlimited growth and expansion. New models have to be developed and implemented, which are based on the necessity of an ecologically and socially regulated market economy. Broader:
