Advantage 12 – Relief for the following generations

Excerpt from the book »Gradido – Natural Economy of Life«

»We haven’t inherited our earth from our parents,
but borrowed it from our children.«
– Indian saying

Some people claim that the following generations will have to repay the debts incurred by our generation. With regard to financial debts, I scarcely believe they will be so naïve. To whom are they supposed to repay the debts? To the banks? To the creditors, who are the richest people in the world anyway? Sooner or later people will wake up and recognize the monkey business. There will be a haircut to settle things once and for all. 

Far more problematic is the disastrous damage our generation has caused to nature. This cannot simply be remedied with a haircut. The longer we continue as we have up to now, the greater the damage will be and the smaller the chances of survival for humankind. The succeeding generations will have to pay for what our generation has done to the earth.

The Natural Economy of Life cannot eliminate this damage overnight. However, we can strive to do our part in helping nature to recover. The Equalisation and Environment Fund (EEF) is a unique instrument that makes an additional pool of money available for the environment in every country, equal in amount to the national budget. In this way the financial basis is created to promote environmental protection and decontamination on an unprecedented scale. Only eco-friendly products and services will be competitive on the market. Positive incentives will motivate the world economy to take decontamination measures. Environmental damage will be eliminated step by step, nature can recover and the following generations will finally find a planet worth living on.
