ECONOMYThe economy would be better stimulated by the development of stringent "green" development standards and standards more friendly to local business. Our economy must be sustainable and be of benefit to each and every person. The need for economic "growth" results in making the wealthy wealthier and the poor poorer. To that end, our economy should be such that it is sustainable, not a continuous push for "growth". We must begin first with our population. Reducing our population will create less demand on our resources. Education is the key to this. (In Utah the sex ed curriculum prohibits the instruction of any type of birth control but abstinence. This must be changed by our state legislators.) Second would be the education and implementation of energy other than the burning of fossil fuels, reducing the exploitation of our resources. I would advocate for Salt Lake County to promote population control, utiliziation of alternative energy sources, and promotion of sustainable communities.
