Description[?]:
| We have an idea that focus on issues such as international stability, technology improvement and science projects will be better to overcome enviromental issues and will do it faster and more effective. We do not need these old views similar to enviromental dictatorship, we need to change our traditional views and challenge our ideas. Furthermore we need to accept that fundamentalist enviromentalism only keeps us in a state where problems is seen everywhere. Why not loosen up and think creative and innovative. |

| Message | Whilst articles 2 and 3 are open to debate, article 1 would cause extreme damage not just to the environment but to the very industries we strive to protect. Allowing unlimited fishing and hunting would destroy the stocks of those animals causing dangers for the survival of the species and risk damaging the businesses they maintain. |
