Earth trusteeship conditions

 

In my view there are only a few main conditions to make Earth Trusteeship a success. (Michiel C J Damen)

1. Inspiration for change based on the awareness by a large enough group of people that there is a problem at all with our Mother Earth, the climate, soil conditions, social justice, land ownership,  etc.

2. A ‘circular economy’ based on cooperation, in which in particular also the consumer is taken seriously in its efforts to buy ecologically and economically (socially) healthy products for a fair price based on true cost accounting.

3. Political will to change our laws from the old fashioned neo-liberal selfish ideas and economic corruption towards an open democratic society, in which each vote counts in an equal way.

Example: What European Greens fight for (document)

4. Large scale landscape restoration. Examples are Commonland and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration

 

 

The above mentioned three conditions should be supported by a

5. Sustainable & ethical financial banking system in which common ownership (thrusteeship) of all stakeholders is made possible of, for instance, agricultural land, water resources and other means of production.

Example: Triodos Ethical Banking
