	Viridian Design
		Society has simply been unable to summon the political or economic will to deal successfully with this problem by using 20th century methods.
		Society must become Green, and it must be a variety of Green that society will eagerly consume.
		What is culturally required at the dawn of the new millennium is a genuine avant-garde, in the sense of a cultural elite with an advanced sensibility not yet shared by most people, who are creating a new awareness requiring a new mode of life.

		These values of freedom are right and true for every person, in every society - and the duty of protecting these values against their enemies is the common calling of freedom-loving people across the globe and across the ages.

		The RMIT Centre for Global Sustainability points out that ‘without awareness there is no closing of the loop.’ Currently, the designer’s main potential to slow environmental degradation lies in communicating the environmentalist’s message to the public.
		Until society value more sustainable design, the majority of designers will not receive briefs with sustainability as a core requirement, severely limiting their potential to slow environmental degradation.

		In a Green society the education system will not be geared towards economic dominance, but towards co-operation, enlightenment, emancipation, and the nurturing of each individual.
		This is in complete disregard of, on the one hand, the information-rich society in which we now live; and, on the other, new psychological insights into the learning process, especially the importance of diverse learning styles.
		Society should seek means to support all who are looking for learning opportunities.

		And the glimpse of the future socialist society given us by William Morris in News from Nowhere (this is recommended reading for Greens) is far more attractive than the civil service paternalism of Fabianism or the "actually existing socialism" which had as its foundation stones the bones of forced labourers.
		The biggest challenge for eco-socialists is convincing fellow Green Party members and many in the wider green movement that sustainability and social justice can only be achieved in a society based on the common ownership, and a multiplicity of democratic forms of control, of the means of production.
		The Manifesto for a Sustainable Society states: "Modern technology is valuable and should be used where appropriate." However, some technologies, such as the generation of power by atomic fission and agribusinesses, are not appropriate and need to be replaced by more sustainable methods which are safe and clean, e.g.

		At the same time, household dependency on fuel and fodder needs to be alleviated by innovative technologies to lessen pressures on forests and cut down on foraging activities that consume most of women’s workdays in many areas.

		The way you're supposed to do this is to read the manifesto of each candidate (or, since this is a pretend election in which you get to vote for parties rather than people, the manifesto of each party), weigh them up on their pros and cons, and decide which best represents your views.
		The Green Party have a manifesto specifically for the European elections, but, though mentioned in a press release on their web site, it doesn't actually seem to be accessible anywhere.
		I'd almost disqualify them on this basis, but since it's easy enough to dismiss them on the basis of their Manifesto for a Sustainable Society which is supposed to inform all their policy, I'll do that.
