50 years of Protecting Europe's Environment

Back


More information:

Today the European Union has the most environmentally-friendly arsenal of rules in the world and has done more to tackle pressing ecological problems, such as climate change, than any other major power. But it has not always been like this. Caring for the environment did not feature in the Treaty of Rome, the document that gave birth to the modern day EU. Yet environmental problems were never far away. Europe's love affair with the car was moving into top gear, industry was busy belching out pollutants and raw sewage was being pumped into our rivers and seas.

When consumers buy cars they get added to GDP. But cars wear out and must eventually be replaced. When consumers buy replacements they get added to GDP. But the cars that wore out never got subtracted from anywhere.

Economists don't mention NDP much but only CAPITAL goods get depreciated. So that GDP as ECONOMIC GROWTH is actually nonsense.

Economists can't do algebra.

They don't mention the planned obsolescence of automobiles either. The laws of physics do not change year to year.
