Full article: Green Politics

Green Politics is advocated by supporters of the green movement and high importance is placed on ecological and environmentalist goals. “Greens” believe that they can not be classified along the traditional left-right political spectrum as their ideology represents a fundamentally new way of addressing societal and political problems.

Green Economics focuses on the importance of the wealth of the biosphere to human well being. Greens want the government to stop subsidising companies that waste resources or pollute the natural world; they also look to a green tax shift where both producers and consumers will be encouraged to make ecologically friendly choices.

Green politics can be criticised as it seems to be strongest among the well educated in the developed world, and many of the policies could be seen as operating against the interests of the poor both in rich companies and globally.
