WASTE NOT WASTE NOT
WASTE NOT - WASTE NOT. Do not waste the Bounty of the Earth.The long term viability of the planet is essential to human and animal and plant life here on Earth. Just because there is an abundance of some raw materials and air and water can be used or destroyed easily does not mean that these resources do not have to be saved for future need. Do not waste lives and experience and time that could be well spent.

WASTE NO FOOD!
TRUE LEFT IS THE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY WHICH DECLARES THAT ALL CITIZENS MUST RECEIVE THE FOOD, HOUSING, CLOTHING, EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT THEY NEED TO LIVE PLEASANT, SECURE AND UNWORRIED LIVES WHILE THEY ARE FREE TO IMPROVE THEMSELVES AND TO PURSUE THEIR ARTISTIC, ECONOMIC AND EMPLOYMENT AIMS. THERE SHOULD NOT BE RESTRICTION NOR SHOULD THERE BE EXPLOITATION WHICH STEALS THE FREEDOM AND THE SENSE OF WELL BEING WHICH ALL CITIZENS ARE ENTITLED TO.

THERE IS A NEED FOR SUPPORT FOR CANADIAN CITIZENS WHO DO NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR BASIC NEEDS. IMPLEMENT "CANADA GLEANS".
MY MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE:
WHY ARE CANADIANS WASTING FOOD THAT POOR CANADIANS NEED?
THERE IS A LOT OF GROCERY STORE WASTE WHICH SHOULD BE THE FIRST AND IMMEDIATE FOCUS OF "CANADA GLEANS" AND WHICH WOULD BE THE LOWEST COST TO TRANSPORT AND TO DISTRIBUTE. THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING, IT MUST BE EXPANDED.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS CANADIAN FARMS WHERE THE FARMER SIMPLY CANNOT GET HIS PRODUCE TO MARKET AND IT IS NOT PROCESSED, PACKAGED AND MARKETED. "CANADA GLEANS" WOULD COLLECT THE PRODUCE AND PROCESS IT AND SHIP IT TO THE CITIES. WHAT THE NEW DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PAYS FOR ESSENTIAL THROUGH SURPLUS PRODUCE WOULD BE ON A SLIDING SCALE DEPENDING ON WHAT THE FARM HAD, HOW MUCH OF IT THERE WAS AND HOW EXPENSIVE IT WOULD BE TO TRANSPORT AND PROCESS IT.
A food processing factory is a facility that turns raw ingredients into processed food products. Food processing factories are designed to prevent cross-contamination and ensure food safety.
THIS IS A PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TIME AS THE UNITED STATES PRODUCE AND THE MEXICAN PRODUCE WHICH IS TRANSPORTED THROUGH THE UNITED STATES WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE, AND PERHAPS EVEN UNAVAILABLE DUE TO THE POLICIES OF US PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I HAVE ADVOCATED FOR FOOD CARD, FOR FOOD DISTRIBUTION, AND I WOULD ADVOCATE FOR A FOOD RETRIEVAL SYSTEM, "CANADA GLEANS".
WE SHOULD PROVIDE HOUSING, FOOD AND DRUGS TO THE HOMELESS, AWAY FROM URBAN POPULATIONS NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THE LIFESTYLES OF THE POOR, UN-HOUSED AND DRUG ADDICTED.
IT LOOKS LIKE CANADIAN BUILDING MATERIALS WILL LOSE MARKET SHARE IN CANADA'S MAJOR MARKET THE US.
USE THIS SITUATION TO DIVERT OUR EXCELLENT LUMBER AND METALS INTO PROVIDING A NEW INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH WOULD HOUSE THE HOMELESS IN RURAL LOCATIONS WHERE THE PROCESSING OF GLEANED FOOD COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED, PROVIDING JOBS AND FOOD FOR THE PREVIOUSLY UNEMPLOYABLE HOMELESS CITIZENS AND OTHER NEEDY CANADIANS.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WE CANADIAN TAXPAYERS WILL FOOT THE BILL TO DEAL WITH THE UPCOMING ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES CAUSED BY TARIFFS.
WE SHOULD TRY TO USE THE MONEY TO LIMIT CANADIAN FOOD WASTE, SUPPORT THE HOMELESS AND POSSIBLY A LOT OF HARD WORKING CANADIANS WHO WILL EXPERIENCE HARDSHIP.
SOON WE MAY HAVE EVEN MORE HOMELESS CITIZENS AND CERTAINLY MORE HUNGRY CANADIAN CITIZENS.

LET THE WAVES OF FATE FLOAT YOU AROUND WITHOUT RESISTING BUT ALWAYS TRYING TO GENTLY GUIDE YOURSELF TO SAFETY.
TRUMP SAYS WE SELL TOO MUCH TO THE US. WHY NOT CUT DOWN UNTIL WE SELL LESS TO THE US THAN THEY SELL TO CANADA.
WHAT SO WE DO WITH THE UNEXPORTED CANADIAN MATERIALS AND THE LABOR WHICH WOULD BE NO LONGER NEEDED?
WE WOULD HAVE REALLY GOOD STUFF LEFT IN CANADA. WE SHOULD USE THE FINE BUILDING MATERIALS TO BUILD NEW TOWNS FOR THE HOMELESS IN STAND ALONE RURAL AREAS. WE SHOULD CREATE NEW FARMS AND FACTORIES AND OFFER THE HOPELESS EMPLOYMENT WHILE PROVIDING FOOD, SHELTER CLOTHING AND DRUGS.
HOMELESS DRUG ADDICTS SHOULD BE GIVEN THIS OFFER THEY COULD NOT RATIONALLY REFUSE.

TRUMP HAS DONE SOMETHING WHICH WILL HELP TO DIMINISH C02 EMISSIONS.
THE 25% TARIFF ON CANADIAN CRUDE OIL SHOULD CAUSE SOME DIMINISHMENT OF THE EMISSION OF GLOBAL WARMING GASSES SUCH AS CARBON DIOXIDE.

HOW ABOUT CUTTING BACK ON EMISSIONS AND GARBAGE PRODUCTION?
YOU MAY BE OVERLOOKING HOW MUCH GLOBAL WARMING GAS POLLUTION COULD BE ELIMINATED BY YOU, BY CONSUMING LESS FUEL.
IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIES WHICH CUT DOWN ON WASTE COULD CUT GARBAGE PRODUCTION WHICH IS FILLING OUR LANDFILLS. REMOVE ORGANIC MATERIAL FROM THE GARBAGE THE LESS BIOMASS THAT ENDS UP IN THE LANDFILL THE LESS METHANE IS PRODUCED.
ANYTHING THAT COULD ROT SHOULD BE COMPOSTED INSTEAD OF LANDFILL USE.
PLEASE, EVERYONE, PARTICIPATE.

BOG WATER
THE ONLY SOLUTION TO INFLATION AND THE LOSS OF PURCHASING POWER WHICH ACCOMPANIES IT IS NOT TO INCREASE ANY PORTION OF TOTAL COST BUT TO FIND WAYS TO MAKE GOODS AND SERVICES MORE EFFECTIVE. PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS WOULD HAVE TO WORK AND ACT CONSERVATIONALLY TO DO THIS.

GET SERIOUS ABOUT THE PERIL WE FACE FROM CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE ONLY WAY TO CURB CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO STOP THE CONSTANT EXPANSION OF THE ECONOMY.
THE EMPHASIS OF GOVERNMENT MUST BE UPON SUSTAINABILITY. THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE TO DO THIS IS TO KEEP OUR SOCIETY FUNCTIONING WHILE WE CUT BACK ON THE USE OF MATERIALS AND ENERGY.
EVERY BIT OF ENERGY USED BECOMES MORE GLOBAL WARMING AND THERE IS ASSOCIATED ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE EMISSIONS FROM THE PRODUCTION OF ENERGY.
NEARLY EVERYTHING WE MAKE FROM RAW MATERIALS BECOMES GARBAGE.

THIS IS A RE-POST OF A TWO YEAR OLD BLOG. THE CONCEPT OF DE-GROWTH IS EMERGING IN DISCUSSIONS ON TV.
GDP IS NOT THE HOLY GRAIL IT IS MADE OUT TO BE
Sunday, May 16, 2021
THIS WAS THE MEADOW AT OTTER POINT BEFORE IT WAS ADDED TO THE GDP BY STRIPPING THE SOIL, TRUCKING IT OFF AND SELLING THE TOPSOIL.
THIS IS IT "AFTER".
GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT DELUSION
EVERY BIT OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS COUNTED UP AND TREASURED AS IF EVERY EXPENDITURE WAS AN EXPRESSION OF REAL WEALTH BEING CREATED EVERYWHERE THROUGHOUT SOCIETY. TRUE WEALTH FOR ALL IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM A PROCESS WHICH ACCUMULATES MONEY FOR A PERSON OR CORPORATION BUT BOTH OF THESE AND MANY OTHER TRANSACTIONS ARE COUNTED IN GDP.
THE COST AND THUS THE QUANTIFICATION OF MATERIALS USED OF MANY COUNTERPRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES IS A PLUS, ADDING TO GDP.
SOME POLICING AND INCARCERATION IS UNAVOIDABLE BUT A LOT OF THAT ACTIVITY DOES NOT ADD TO REAL WEALTH BUT IT IS COUNTED AS PART OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT.
A LOT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES ARE NECESSARY BUT MANY ARE NOT NECESSARY AND ARE EXPLOITATIVE AND IN REALITY THEY CREATE A LOSS OF WEALTH AND SERVICES FOR CITIZENS BUT ALL OF THE COSTS ARE COUNTED AS AND JUDGED TO BE A CUMULATIVE VALUE ADDED TO GDP.
THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF A GROWING GDP IS MORE:
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE
DEPLETION OF RESOURCES
DESTRUCTION OF NATURAL HABITAT
THE DISPLACEMENT OF ANIMALS
THE DISPLACEMENT OF HUMANS
A CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH IN THE HOLDINGS OF THE RICH
MORE MONEY AND RESOURCES FOR UNNECESSARY MILITARY EQUIPMENT, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND MILITARY ADVENTURING
AND THEN ALL THAT SHIT GETS ADDED IN TO THE GDP LIKE THE SUN AND THE MOON AND THE STARS AND LIKE IT WAS MANNA FROM HEAVEN.
