Demand to change the law

so that consumers can deduct from their taxable income

the money they spend on goods and services

that have been made in processes,

which ensure sustainable development

 

Having studied environmental science and carried out years of research on ecological crises, we founded several concepts that allow us to present our demand for what we hold as a viable solution for humankind to live in harmony with Nature.


The ability to deduct green costs of living from taxable income motivates and empowers consumers to account for the quality of their ways of living in a gainful way.  They pay less and less taxes, while they report the improvements in the environmental qualities of their ways of living.   

 

The demand of these consumers will generate a competition among producers to supply goods and services for sustainable ways of living.

 

When deducting their green costs of living, consumers have to justify why particular products ensure sustainable development.  

 

As a consequence of the demand for justification from these consumers, producers will share their knowledge about the means, tools, techniques, materials, services and energy with which they achieve production processes that maintain the integrity of Nature.

 

Granting the ability to deduct green costs of living from taxable income will enable to consider the two components of the socio-economic power separately.  The economic power of expense of the consumer will then interpenetrate the social power of income of the producer in a harmonious equilibrium.  The economic power of expense maintains an ethical current in the development of the economy while the social power of income shapes society. 

 

It will be out of financial and personal interests that the consumer will account for his green costs of living, while deducting them from his taxable income.  Financial and personal interests are two powerful drives in human behaviour.  Out of personal interest the consumer will want to live in harmony with Nature. Out of self-interest the consumer will sustain development with his ways of living in an ethical way. 

 

The ability to deduct green costs of living from taxable income emerged during our research as a crucial practise in the science of economy after founding the concept which determines the sense of the development of the economy.
