For
more than 2 centuries, the original Constitution has allowed
corporations and other businesses to RAVAGE the LAND,
POLLUTE WATERS, CONTAMINATE AIR, and generally wreck havoc
with the environment.

Stewardship
of NATIONAL RESOURCES
Under the
U.S. Constitution for 21st Century and
Beyond, new principles, policies, and programs will be
instituted for better management of National
Resources.
Major
goals for improved management of national resources
include:
- Annual
assessment of status of national resources required by
citizens and the nation
- Conduct
of studies, exploration, research, and evaluation
necessary to fulfill requirements of the nation for
resources
- Enactment
of laws, policies, and programs to promote more
effective, equitable development, production,
distribution, utilization and replenishment of national
resources
- Establishment
of policies and programs (a) to ensure effective
utilization of limited resources; (b) to prevent
ravaging, destruction, and waste of resources; (c) to
accelerate recycling of limited products and resources;
and (d) to design systems for replenishment, as possible,
of resources to fulfill requirements of the
nation
- Protection
against give away of national resources--oil,
forests, minerals, land--to special interests such as
mining companies, cattle industry, lumbering, oil and gas
industry, and other special interests
- Establishment
of a National Reserve for Critical National
Resources to provide, insofar as possible, adequate
resources to fulfill present and future requirements of
the nation. With priorities varying according to
conditions and circumstances, the National Reserve
will initially include, but not be limited to, the
following:
- National
Water, Soil, Forest, and other Natural
Resources
- National
Energy Reserves--including oil, wind, water, solar,
and other existing and potential energy
resources
- National
Disaster Recovery System to safeguard citizens against
famine, epidemics, fires, earthquakes, and other
natural disasters and emergencies
- National
Financial Reserve (a) for emergencies; and (b) for
visionary planning for a better
future
- Other
protections and services necessary for the
nation
Under the
new Constitution, all citizens will enjoy the right and
opportunity to share proportionately, or appropriately, in
assets, wealth, properties, and other resources innate to,
inherent in, or provided by, the nation.
Background
Under the
new Constitution, the long record of abuse and misuse will
be ended, including:
- Give
away of Natural Resources without adequate
compensation to the nation including: mining,
cattle industry, lumbering, resort and tourism, or other
interests stealing or misusing public lands and
values
- Failure
to establish adequate flood control protection resulting
in multi-billion dollar losses for citizens and the
nation
- Failure
to develop adequate fire protection systems for the
nation--allowing destruction of forest, land, wildlife,
as well as homes and human life from forest
fires
- Placing
of thousands of toxic waste dumps around the nation to
jeopardize health of citizens and the
environment
- And
other abuses
