The science is not only about CO2 and global warming.

There are mountains of research and graphs all resembling the infamous ‘hockey stick’ climate portrayal, which depict similar unsustainable realities: increases in water use, unmitigated river damming and resultant land loss, industrial land use, ozone depletion, rising frequency of super floods, depletion of ocean ecosystems, loss of rain forests, decimation of biodiversity, loss of oxygen production, substantial increases in fertilizer and paper consumption, explosion in the number of motor vehicles, failing recycling rate of consumer products, unmitigated consumptive growth in the global economy (GDP), and an increasing population. For the climate naysayers, they have simply missed the point. The science is unequivocal. We’re living on the edge.

This myriad of indicators delivers a message so clear that any sensible government should readily understand it. We are killing the earth in every way imaginable using an economic model that rewards waste while encouraging the emerging world to join in and do the same.

It’s time to end Old World cronyism before it ends us.

The Green Party of BC is the only party that has consistently acknowledged these New World challenges and developed sensible solutions to tackle each one of them from a provincial perspective. Canada is being called a world laggard, even threatened with expulsion from the Commonwealth. BC isn’t much better, and has been silent when we need a strong voice. We can’t have patches added to a flawed system.

We need a new system.

HELP US BUILD ONE

Without you, there would simply be no Thin Green Line, no Green Party of BC. We need your support at the polls, your time as a volunteer and your donations to help us grow. If we represent the values you believe in, then join us and make a difference in BC. The changes we all know are necessary and the momentum to make them a reality will not come from politicians. It will come from you. The moment your voice is heard, every politician will be Green in the blink of an eye.

So please, make sure the message continues to be heard and HELP US RIGHT NOW.

With gratitude and thanks,

Jane Sterk, Leader
