'''Green politics''' is a body of political ideas informed by [[environmentalism]] aimed at developing a [[sustainability|sustainable]] society. It is considered by its advocates to be an alternative to both [[left-wing politics|left]] and [[right-wing politics|right]] views and parties, although adherents of both views tend to view [[Greens]] as "on the other side". Certainly it is true that [[Worldwide green parties|Green parties]] advocate measures that appear to conventional politicians different from those grouped into [[labour (economics)|labour]] and [[capital]] by economic interests.
Some of these views include:
*a commitment to the methods of [[consensus decision making]], [[participatory democracy]] and [[deliberative democracy]] wherever feasible
*local and [[moral purchasing]] provisions for [[government]] especially, requiring the source of supply to follow similar environmental and labour standards as those prevailing in the consuming jurisdiction
*[[measuring well-being]] as an alternative to [[consumer price index]] based means of measuring [[economic growth]]
*[[full cost accounting]] and an end to [[dirty subsidy]] of [[pollution]] by [[government]]
*a [[green tax shift]] that would increase consumption and sales taxes on all resource-intensive items, while reducing [[income tax]] and [[capital gains tax]]
*a cessation of all taxes levied against strictly local production and trade
*against [[nuclear power]] and the build up of [[persistent organic pollutants]] - based on a strict adherence to the [[precautionary principle]] where technologies are rejected unless they can be proven to not cause significant harm to the health of living things or the [[biosphere]]. In [[Germany]] and [[Sweden]] programs have been initiated to shut down all nuclear plants (known as [[nuclear power phase-out]]).
*an end to biological forms of pollution and human health damage via the subsidy of [[dairy farming]] and the [[meat industry]]
*treating [[waste]] as a [[resource]] - a commodification of something of negative value, previously dumped into the [[commons]] without [[full cost accounting]]
*investing heavily in [[human capital]]
*[[accounting reform]] that would probably disadvantage both labour and large investors in favor of small investors, customers, and the public at large
*an end to the [[War on Drugs]] in the [[United States]] and [[Europe]]
*an end to the [[War on Terrorism]] and the curtailment of [[civil rights]] - focusing instead on growing [[deliberative democracy]] in war-torn regions and the construction of a [[civil society]] with an increased role for women
*[[urban secession]] by major cities to permit them to shake off control of the suburbs and renew their economies in ways that they cannot do if they require the permission of their surrounding regions, e.g. to tax, ban cars in downtowns, or put money in [[mass transit]] instead of [[highway]]s
*[[bioregional democracy]] reflecting ecological boundaries in politics directly
Because it lacks clear identification with powerful interest groups, and tends to appeal more to a world-view or [[mindset]], Green politics tends to grow slowly but also not to easily lose ground to other views or parties over time. In [[developed nation]]s Greens have typically stood at 3-12% of the vote for long periods of time without making breakthroughs, usually participating in government as a minority partner, or working at municipal or regional levels. Most Greens reject [[radical centrist politics]] though there is a strong overlap between that perspective and what is occasionally referred to as the "realist" wing of the Greens.
Basic statements of Green political values include the [[Four Pillars of the Green Party]] originally adopted by the [[European Greens]], the [[Ten Key Values of the Global Greens]] adopted by most English-speaking Greens in the [[1990s]], and the [[six core Green principles]] accepted in [[2001]].
Greens often refer to [[productivism]], [[consumerism]] and [[scientism]] as examples of "grey" views, which implies age, ashphalt and obsolete ideas of human social organization, including [[globalization]] of economic relations. Many Greens are important players in the [[anti-globalization]] movement. This involvement includes the full spectrum from [[street protesters]] to those building local alternatives to [[global economic monoculture]].
Green politics is usually said to include the [[green anarchism]], [[eco-anarchism]], [[anti-nuclear movement|anti-nuclear]] and [[peace movement]]s - although these often claim not to be aligned with any party. Some claim it also includes [[feminism]], [[pacifism]] and the [[animal rights]] movements. Most Greens support special policy measures to empower women, especially mothers; to oppose war and de-escalate conflicts and stop proliferating technologies useful in conflict or likely to lead to conflict, and such unusual measures as [[Great Ape personhood]].
