Blog #4

So, how do I feel about green values you ask?  Well, overall, I would have to say I agree with green values.  I think for anyone who already has a passion for the environment they would feel the same way.   Unless you support environmental destruction, you can’t help but feel some connection to the green movement.  I’ve said it in a previous blog, but Deep Ecology is one of the beliefs that I can really support.  I’ve pretty much had already decided all of its core principles on my own over the course of my life, and it really is surprising the similarities.  Honestly, I feel like a lack of belief in Deep ecology is at the root cause of our current problems. 

I would have to say, the most surprising part of the readings were the “10 Key Values” of the Green Party of the United States, as listed on their website.  I would find it hard for anyone to argue against these 10 values presented here.  They are also more like guidelines, rather than rules; and the website even offers a subtext alerting you to this which states, no authoritative version is offered.  This allows any subchapter to use the key values as needed in their situation, without being confined without action by an overly rigid set of rules.  Sounds legit to me.
