The Humanitarian Party has the same fundamental thought process on environmental issues as it does on Humanitarian issues. First, think about the impact on the environment and then move forward based on the results of that thought process.
There are a lot of areas to think about when it comes to environmental issues. We must analyze each area in order to provide a solution that is both sustainable and safe for humans along with the environment.
With any environmental issue, humanitarians believe there should be a strong contingency plan along with the final proposal for a solution. We must not only know how to do something, but we also must know how to react in case the system fails.
Climate Change:
Climate change is a natural event that happens on Earth with or without Humans being here. Although climate change is a natural event Humans do play an important part and have dramatically affected climate change by burning fossil fuels and by not controlling greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide, methane, etc) more.
Conservation:
The Humanitarian Party believe it is a human responsibility to respect and work toward a way to avoid the extinction of any organism due to a process of direct human involvement.
Energy:
The Humanitarian Party will work on getting away from gasoline burning engines and put more resources into renewable energy such as solar, hydrogen, and the wind.
New renewable energy storage systems (batteries) are also needed in order to utilize solar energy at night.
If the government would relax their strict regulations and give more incentives to entrepreneurs to commercialize renewable energy most importantly renewable energy storage systems than we could increase the possibility of making renewable energy that is safe for the environment a reality.
Nanotechnology
The Humanitarian Party thinks nanotechnology is a promising area for development in new materials and devices, but feel it should be excluded from food. As with any new technology, nanotechnology needs to be analyzed in order to determine the impact on the environment and on human biology before using them in a manufacturing process.
Waste:
The Humanitarian Party thinks the waste and possibility of failure involved in energy projects are just as important as the process itself. There must be a strong solution for handling the waste from a particular process with a strong contingency plan that has been tested and proven to be effective in the case of a system failure.
