Time is passing

Time is Passing ........

Time has passed since we last wrote, and now with little action on Climate change that is having any real effect despite all the words and shouting from all directions is it not time to awake from our comfortable chairs and lifestyles and realize it is the money in our pockets that is the root cause of the problem, we have to much and we can always borrow more and more without any due regard to the effects its spending has upon Nature.

Money is key along with the population numbers, but the west has so much Money which controls so much of the worlds resources, and it is this linkage between money and Nature that has to be established.

It was partially there when money was linked to gold, at least gold availability was restricted and this then made money restricted and along with the then fiscal measures of the day.

Now we have money coming out of anyone who wants it, nearly 0% interest in fact in some places you get paid to borrow, along with crypto currencies which make money so cheap and easy to obtain and SPEND.

We SPEND, SPEND,  SPEND, at will with no thought at all of Nature,

When you buy a shirt, coffee or house, do you think what damage its doing by buying such items?

Few of us do...

Perhaps now is the wake up time  to attach a Value to all of Natures goods through the way we tax everything.

At present we tax labour and assets but nothing for pollution or damage to the environment. This has to change, and we all must be made directly aware of the consequences of our actions upon the planet.

To achieve this I have suggested for a number of years now, to link money to nature  directly through fundamental tax changes

Scrap all existing taxes and replace with a single Natural Resource Tax collected at source and based on the Eco Damage caused by their use and consumption plus UBI and a wealth tax.

This has to create a mind set change in all our behaviors.

I suggest this  change despite what ever technologies come up with, they will fail due to their failure to have any linkage directly with Nature during their design, production, lifespan , decommissioning, and recycling.

The circular economy will fail without a direct link to nature through EVERYTHING we do .

I do hope that 2020 will be the time when we realize that Money is our Savior and enemy.

Its how we use and consume all goods and services that money provides along with their provenance with Nature that critical to all our futures

Get real

All the efforts of the past have had no effect on the scale needed, Money and the way its taxed and spent will change the planet for good or bad , recent change have speeded up the destruction process without any of us knowing it

Change will happen , Its weather we will be in control or not?
