The Green Party of the United States was founded in 1996. The party’s ideology is based on environmentalism, nonviolence, social justice, grassroots democracy, gender equality and opposition to armed conflict.

How do you think focusing on environmentalism can reshape our economy and job market in the future?
@9TN6MJZ11mos11MO
Focusing on our planet’s health will improve our health.
@9TJ3TFH11mos11MO
Focus on that would help with healthcare because things would be carefully operated.
@9TJGFBGRepublican11mos11MO
I think they will decrease our economy by only focusing on the environment when they are bigger issues at hand.
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
How do personal choices and daily habits contribute to or counteract efforts toward achieving a greener, more equitable world?
@9TMTDD511mos11MO
Personal choices barely matter. It's big energy companies that are the problem.
We can all contribute to a greener world. Recycling, using less plastic, etc.
@9TKLH2D11mos11MO
I think that personal choices can make a difference in achieving a greener world but it is more important for regulation and for corporations if we really want to protect ourselves from the perils of climate change.
@9THBSTQ11mos11MO
using cars with lithium batteries like teslas and vaping is starting the hurt the world more than oil ever has
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
Can gender equality in leadership positions lead to better environmental policies, and why might this be the case?
@9THBQT211mos11MO
Yes. Gender equality is a step in the direction of diversity as a whole, which can limit the presence of "we didn't think of that" problems.
@9THCJ5H11mos11MO
I think that it could because a lot of people have good ideas regardless of gender.
@9TN9GTJ11mos11MO
This could make an impact, women may be slightly more likely to support green policies.
@9YFSM5C9mos9MO
Not really. Gender equality doesn't play a big role as people would say or think. It really matters on the character of the individual and what policies they're trying to pass.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What personal sacrifices would you be willing to make for a greener planet, and why?
@9R693LF1yr1Y
It should be corporations having the burden, not individuals.
@9R696YD1yr1Y
I would change a lot if it meant a better planet for the future. Including but not limited to; even more recyclables, complete solar power/alternate energy, community composts, ethanol bans, natural gas bans, natural yards to eliminate water waste.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways can individual actions contribute to or detract from the goals of environmental sustainability and social justice?
Do not buy "green" products in order to be "green"; purchasing a new electric vehicle, for example, rather than simply driving less or buying a used ICE car is abysmal for the environment for the overwhelming majority of people, as a new EV typically has to be driven at least ~100,000 miles just to offset the cost of manufacturing.
@9SG2BMW12mos12MO
Nothing. We need to stop the gaslighting of internalizing blame for the adverse effect industry has had on our planet and population. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated in real-time that current regulations and penalizations do not curb bad actors
The proliferation of PFOA's and microplastics in our ecosystem require a hard look at how public health is subverted by big industry. Government agencies such as the FDA and EPA are continuously undermined and have failed to efficiently combat regulatory capture. There needs to be harsh enforcement of the law we have in the books to hold these criminals accountable, so as to deter future bad behavior. More needs to be done to create a viable, stronger future that includes proper, thorough assessment of both positive and negative externalities, promoting the former and minimizing the latter.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you think a shift towards a green economy might impact your future job prospects or the cost of everyday goods?
@elisaurusGreen11mos11MO
It will be much more beneficial as using sustainable/renewable sources of energy are obviously going to be more cost effective. Its in the name.
@elisaurusGreen11mos11MO
Environmentalism also makes for a healthier planet and population, what more can you ask for
It would not affect it at all as humans are resources we will use forever
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
How has a personal experience with nature ever changed your view on environmental issues?
@9TMV42Y 11mos11MO
I believe more firmly than ever that protecting our natural environment is a critical necessity to prolong the lifespan of our planet and all life within it. Climate change is just word to describe the steps of terraforming. What we are doing to our planet will inevitably result in becoming like Venus if we don't improve our emissions, environmental preservation, resource waste and consumption, etc.
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
Is it possible for a society to achieve complete social justice, and what steps would need to be taken to get closer to that ideal?
@9TMZB7NRepublican11mos11MO
No. Humans are flawed and sinful. Understanding our differences, recognizing that they do exist, and finding unity with what we DO have in common is the only way for us to prosper. There will always be conflict. We need to avoid evil and do good.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can education and awareness play a role in achieving the goals of the Green political party?
@9RGGG321yr1Y
By having more people understand the topics discussed
