Green Initiative and Agenda 21

  Recently this editor resigned as Lubbock County Green Party chairman due to conflict of my personal beliefs and party politics. I still believe in recycling and water conservation. Local residents like many republicans and libertarians are so rabid that anyone with the democrats or greens are labeled communists,socialists,you name it. Agenda 21 is a NON-BINDING U.N.resolution that was never even endorsed by the U.S.Congress. Local wackos want to connect smart meters,water rationing and other good ideas to Agenda 21. Smart meters are simply digital technology designed to be efficient and actually reduce manpower cost. Water rationing is a long overdue process since people have wasted water for years. The Green Initiative actually encourages recycling and this editor was “Cash For Cans” manager from 1973-1976. I actually use cloth bags to save on unneeded plastic bags. There are flaws in both the Green Initiative and Agenda 21. There are also flaws in both democrat and republican party platforms. Politics is complicated and it's no arena for small minds. Lubbock has too many small minds and most are republican voters with a few libertarian voters bringing up the rear.
