»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.
