Fw: Petition against WTO trade liberalization

[Wim A. de Bruyn (by way of Arie Dirkzwager <aried@xs4all.nl>)]

Hello PATRICIA HUME,

Rather than campaigning against WTO, it would be more efficient that the
more than 150 grassroots organizations of your network would adopt, support
and promote that consumers can deduct, from taxable income, costs of living
with ecological products.  Billions of consumers, particularly these in the
developed, industrialised countries, can then offset he powers of the World
Trade Organization (WTO) with their economic power of expense.  This is an
efficient way to achieve your goal : to "oppose any effort to expand the
powers of the World Trade Organization (WTO)".  More information is
presented in "An ecological version of the free market economy".  I already
received a proposal from an organisation in Mexico to open a ZERO market in
Mexico.  We are waiting for more support.  In the mean time, we have
arrived at the stage of being able to offer opportunities to invest in an
ecological vessel traffic line.  More is explained in "Introduction to "The
Race".

To oppose takes less effort than to promote.   It is therefore easier.

More efficient would be that  consumers assume their natural responsibility
for Nature by exercising their economic power of expense.
