Environment

As the effects of government incompetence have accumulated, trash has been building up in our towns, particularly in nooks and crannies.

I have personally witnessed the decay of Troon, very near my residence, as well as near the Screwfix in Irvine and more. There’s fences to be fixed and trash to remove and bricks on the side of the pavement of Gillies St - and it wasn’t like that five years ago. What the government did do was mark the pavement with an anti-dog-fouling message, making it look even worse. There's glass on the floor in multiple places around Marr College, and when cycling to Irvine there was also inconvenient glass.

This calls for an obvious public project, demonstrating power without coercion, by asking for crowdfunding for the organisation and the provision of materials for trash removal – offering financial incentive to those who wish to staff the project - primarily the unemployed.

“The Conservatives” thought of coercing young people into “national service”, but they should have instead thought to do what actually needs done.

Naturally, we'll look into other public projects which may have support, which we'd then ask for crowdfunding for, in order to improve our outdoor environments, such as by sorting out a homeless shelter megacomplex.

After watching that video, know that humans are not good at predicting their own future, and " So far MOST of the "doom and gloom" facts are not really holding up in 2021 "  (the video was posted in 2017)

"We have a finite environment—the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist." — David Attenborough

The environment of the planet could be entirely within the control of an advanced civilization.

Environments can be man-made e.g. O'Neill Cylinders.

So, we do not have a finite environment.

Obviously, we have finite means with which to manipulate and make environments.

I'm optimistic that the planet will be ok, or at least humanity will be, given intelligent social systems and the use of technologies yet to come.
