Environment

Throwing the money-changers out of the temple

Long before there were any humans, the world was simple; the sun shone, the rain fell, and plants and animals grew and died naturally. Since then, humanity has placed itself above nature. We discovered Gods and Science that gave us free reign over the Earth. Ecosystems millions of years old are being permanently altered, an extraordinarily dangerous situation. We are a part of nature and, as such, have a responsibility to ourselves and everything else to take only what we need and replace all that we can. If we don’t, we risk killing off not only ourselves, but every other living thing. Humanity is no longer at the mercy of the environment, the environment is at the mercy of humanity. This is wrong. To reembrace the sacredness of the forest and land, we must first throw the money changers out of the temple.

Nature must again have the upper hand, and we can’t turn to scientists or businessmen to do the job. They can’t even repair the damage they have already caused.

Total Reforesation

About a thousand years ago Aotearoa was covered in forest and was inhabited by a uniquely diverse range of birds, giant insects and reptiles. Although many species are gone forever, much can be done to repopulate this land with it’s native inhabitants. Knocking down cities, the mass emigration of a large per centage of the population following the GREAT LEAP BACKWARDS©, and the end of large scale farming and forestry will be of immediate benefit. Native forests will be replanted at an initial rate of 100,000 hectares per year until the land is reforested back to the island paradise it once was. There will be some retention of exotic flora to feed and warm people. Scottish oats, Macrocarpa, and a few other useful weeds will be supplied as seeds for a few years, after which seed management will be the Clan’s responsibility.

The End to Pollution

As part of the Great Leap Backwards, all factories, abattoirs and power stations will be dismantled, and the internal combustion engine will be abolished, along with any other industrial and post-industrial technologies that are damaging to the natural environment. These measures may seem extreme but they are the only hope for the continuation of life on this planet. Other parties ineffectual pale green tinkering is only postponing the catastrophe. People who vote for any of them must bear personal responsibility for the complete annihilation of life on this planet!
