WORDS FROM VIVIENNE WESTWOOD'S RED LABEL AW 12/14 CAMPAIGN

 Climate Revolution Charter
The Revolution has already begun.
The fact of man-made climate change is accepted by most people. Through every walk of life people are changing their values and their behaviour. This continues to build the Revolution. The fight is no longer between the classes or between rich and poor but between the idiots and the eco-conscious.

MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Climate Revolution is the only means towards a sound economy. When the general public massively switches on to this fact we will win.

RESIST ECONOMIC PROPAGANDA
Our economic system, run for profit and waste and based primarily on the extractive industries, is the cause of climate change. We have wasted the earth’s treasure and we can no longer exploit it cheaply. This shows up as a symptom; the symptom which is the proof of climate change is the economic crisis. Climate crisis and economic crisis are like serpents who eat each other’s tail. Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the human and environmental cost. The old, blind, mechanistic and life threatening view of economists prevents a true analysis. If they included climate change in their analysis we could work towards a better future. If we want a sound economy we have to have a sound environment.

What’s good for the planet is good for the economy / What’s bad for the planet is bad for the economy.
