It would be a
safe bet to say that Congress doesn't know what ecological economics is. For
many in the two houses the term might suggest something like solar panels or
renewable materials. Yes it can include such items however it means a lot more;
in fact it is an entirely different way of regarding the economy as part of the
environment (the world basically) where it occurs, including the ecosystem.
Air is a
simply idea. Usually it’s not included in classical economics quantitatively
for the entire world though it could be. If someone were to make a substantial
impact on the ecosphere reducing or increasing planetary oxygen and other gases,
production of air fit to breathe it could be measured.
There are
finite quantities of air, water, land and biota on the Earth. One can compare
the amount of ecological goods available to the number of users of the finite ecosphere
and its ecological goods and determine what the budget for use that is
sustainable is with various scaled population and use factors- if the goods
natural renew themselves (such as a lake that refills after rainfall).
Good
ecological economic policy would provide work for citizens sustaining the
environment and wildlife with all the value it has with D.N.A. structures
uniquely configured plants, etc. in addition to usual jobs manufacturing items
that make life easier or more interesting.
Ecological
economic criteria do need to have government set guidelines and coordination
that fit within a Democratic, free enterprise social paradigm in order to
sustain a continuum of creative human progress. Contract criteria for work that
supports sustainability and has low impact on the ecosphere that is adverse or
destructive is a good vehicle for transforming a classical, non-renewable
economic infrastructure to one that is sustainable.
Fundamentally
the Democrat party isn't any more aware of the deeper nature of ecological
economic procedures than the Republican Party, though the Democrats flirt with
conservation and renewable energy items enough to try to attract voters to
their general policy of concentrating wealth in a global plutonomy while destroying
U.S. sovereignty.
