The world's military machines must be dismantled and a new respect for people and their cultures must arise so that they can control their own lives. World peace demands a fairer allocation of economic and social resources. We must transform the obsession with military domination, excessive material consumption, and the exploitation of the environment into a genuine commitment to education, health and preservation of the environment. We seek to encourage informed and active participation of all people in decisions that affect their lives. This must include political, social, economic, and environmental issues.
Greens believe that all people have a genuine contribution to make to society.
We want greater sharing of wealth and resources and less concentration of riches. We are committed to economic alternatives that meet the financial and social needs of all people. We will work for greater self-sufficiency through economic initiatives, relying on local resources, local people, and appropriate technology. We seek a new economics based upon the natural limits of the Earth which meets the basic needs of everyone on the planet, under democratic, decentralized control. The Green movement is profoundly influenced by feminism.
