Summary of Petition for a Green Recovery & Green America
- Make America’s largest unacknowledged, backdoor tax and uncontrolled experiment on society and our children – the greenhouse gas, chemical, genetic, radioactive and heavy metal pollution of our air, water, food and bodies – clearly visible with True Cost-Pollution Prevention (TCPP) taxes on pollution.
The result: reducing pollution (and ones taxes) becomes more profitable than polluting – and continually Cleaner and Safer goods, services and production methods of all kinds underprice and then replace their more Dirty and Dangerous counterparts.
- Then monthly rebate and deposit 25% of these TCPP taxes into the bank accounts of all adult residents to help cushion them from initially higher prices on goods and services and to help them buy these continually cleaner, healthier, eco-friendlier goods, vehicles and services.
Use the lion’s share of the other 75% to accelerate the green recovery in the following ways:
- Help millions of low to average income homeowners, renters, businesses and farmers pay for Deep Green retrofitting of their homes, businesses and farms with solar panels, wind turbines, better insulation, non-toxic carpets and interiors etc.
Help train millions of unemployed Americans, coal miners, oil workers and others to work in and start green businesses doing Deep Green retrofitting.
- Help millions buy hybrid and electric cars, trucks, tractors, scooters and bicycles powered by these same solar panels and wind turbines.
Help public transit districts lower fares and expand services with clean energy-powered vehicles and new rural, suburban, urban and inner city routes and services.
- The result — this targeted TCPP tax recycling will lead to the mass production of ever less expensive solar and wind systems for everyone else, millions of Americans will be back at work in new green jobs and millions of other Americans will be in increasingly greener jobs and workplaces making a continually cleaner, safer, healthier and more sustainable economy, environment and world
