Excellent Sir,

We should all work for GREEN ECONOMY.Thanks.

To work for a "green economy" we cannot have training in consumer culture. We need green schools now. Well really, we have needed green schools ever since we freed ourselves from the yoke of the British East India Corporation..it is very late now, but better now than never. How to produce, what to produce, to meet all needs wasting no natural resources to stoke consumer appetites and greeds.

In our schools, teachers first, and children taught to ask and learn about all they use, from food to materials : do I really need this, how was this made, who made this, how far was it transported, how was it stored, was it made with zero waste, can it be reused and recycled, were the persons who made this compensated justly, treated fairly, entitled their human rights and dignity?
