Well-Being; Stepping Forward
Mike Nickerson
Do you feel that growing an ever larger economy
will solve the problems of our age? Or, do you believe
that solutions will be found by setting our sights on
long term well-being? That is, by aiming to involve
everyone who needs sustenance in a system that:
manages necessary materials in continuous cycles,
uses renewable energy and eliminates harmful waste?
It is a question of direction.
Which goal do we want to pursue?
Which do you feel people would pick if we had
a democratic choice?
This choice could be offered in the upcoming
Canadian federal election.
As a goal, for its own sake, expanding
production and consumption will not solve the
problems growing around us. No matter how many
nations get drawn into "free trade" agreements to feed
the expansion, the Earth will not get any bigger.
We need a better way to live.
It is proposed "that the Green Party of Canada
deliver the Question of Direction to Canadians
in the 2004 Federal Election."
This choice is explained in more detail at:
http://www.SustainWellBeing.net/GreenParty/challenge-and-goal.html
If you would like to see this choice offered,
please help to move it forward.
Your voice is needed.
You can help move this choice forward by:
a) Forwarding this message to your network of
acquaintances.
b) Joining with local activists to promote the Question of
Direction, in general, and in the upcoming
election, in particular.
c) Contacting the Green Party (contact info. below) and
encouraging them to make the Question of
Direction a clear message in the election.
d) Joining the Green Party to give weight to your interest
in asking the Question of Direction.
e) Actively offering the choice to the people in your
community by running as a Green Party
candidate.
Membership in the Green Party of Canada
is $10 to $25.
If the prospect of offering this fundamental choice
moves you to join, or to run, mention the Question of
Direction in your communication.
