The Green Independent Party of Maine believes in the development of strategies and practices of energy use that do not waste our resources or cause harm to our environment. In a world of finite natural resources that can be used for energy production, we will not survive if we continue to consume them without regard for conservation and sustainability. Individuals, communities, government and industry share the responsibility for making these changes. We believe in striving for a no-waste policy of energy production and use. The Green Independent Party of Maine believes that the health of all citizens is both a personal and a community responsibility.
Human health is affected by the health of our physical environment and by our personal behavior.
It is the community's responsibility to provide a system that supports health maintenance for all, and promotes healthy behavioral patterns and preventative health practices. The Green Independent Party of Maine believes that we are dependent on the health of our natural resources. How we treat our natural resources is a paradigm for the health of our society and of ourselves. Ecological wisdom, diversity, interdependence and a long-term focus will heal our planet and our communities. We must reassert our authority over what is allowed into our air and water.
