Green Festival

The aims of the Northampton Green Festival are to promote ecological balance, social justice and sustainable development. We support the view that: ,, the environment around us is threatened with massive destruction. ,, humankind depends on the diversity of the natural world for its existence ,, the Earth's physical resources are finite so we threaten our future if we try to live beyond those means. ,, a healthy society is based on voluntary co-operation between empowered individuals in a democratic society, free from discrimination whether based on race, colour, sex, religion, national origin, social origin or any other prejudice. ,, the success of a society cannot be measured by narrow economic indicators, but should take account of factors affecting the quality of life for all people: personal freedom, social equity, health, happiness and human fulfillment. ,, only non-violent solutions to conflict situations which take into account the interests of minorities and future generations achieve lasting settlements.
