Green Politics...

Green Politics, as the term suggests brings in the pro-ecology pro-conservation ideology into the political purview. I'm not the authority on either politics or Going Green, but here I put what I understand. The earliest references of this term can be found on wikipedia, which quote some German politicians who agreed to put affects and effects of our development to people. There are numerous other leaders from the past, who had preached n practiced the same, but never had a launchpad. Not that they did not, but could not push it because of other people issues were overwhelming. I remember Gandhi taking to natural Khadi ( hand woven cotton) produce, Lal Bahadur Shastri promoting Farmers ( Jai Jawan Jai Kisan - Hail soldiers, hail the Farmers) and promoting fasting as a means to curb hunger across the world, using lesser resources which were need based only. These were and are far more superior ways , which not only influenced the common man but did bring about a revolution of its own kind. Al Gore the most famous and well known face of politics, who proposed all the wise n alarming studies of human affect. But saying this, he aloofs himself from politics, but the exposure he gets is due to his political image! What if he brought this during his contention for presidency and continued his good work, he could have achieved much of what he proposes now. I really appreciate his efforts, but the topic is about green politics, I believe politics could give a much needed platform for the "Go Green Revolution".
But being a human being I have been practicing what I call a slaughter of nature, and have seen politicians ravaging the earth for matters of Votes n power. I'm not asking/debating that politicians are Either evil Or only way to propagate, but Green is indeed one agenda that political parties should surface. Green Politics is welcomed by the educated and aware popluation, it only needs a bit of soil n moisture of thoughts to grow. I sincerely hope that our world sees politicians like these who do a just to be a child of mother earth.
I hope n pray that in next times I see a lot of people coming into politics, for the Green of Earth than green of Money....
