It will be a travesty of justice if an individual was deprived of his or her seat either Westminster or at local government because of widespread vote stealing. It is vital that all necessary resources are provided to combat this evil activity. Northern Ireland is a place of great beauty and we must do everything we can to protect our green spaces. As such, Alliance is committed to cutting pollution and the emission of greenhouse gasses, recycling a greater percentage of waste products, promoting more energy efficient buildings, and encouraging a more responsible use of resources. Every member of society is entitled to a decent living environment.
Alliance stresses the importance of sustainable development.
We endorse the Brundtland Commission's dictum that society should 'meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. We want to set up a Green Task Force to make industry aware of the real economic and environmental costs of their actions and to illustrate the potential savings from the most efficient use of resources and reducing waste. We further support the work of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. There are now European Union targets for waste minimisation and recycling, and we must meet them. We must encourage more kerb-side collection of recyclable materials and integrate recycling into mainstream waste management.
