The Natural Law Party believes that protecting the environment and creating new jobs are not contrary principles. Certainly the government should not promote jobs that contribute to the widespread destruction of our national resources and environment. In the long-term, such jobs are as dangerous for the economy as they are for the environment.

However, there is no reason to assume that the creation of more and better jobs need have a damaging effect. On the contrary, there are many new jobs and new industries in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and forestry, and other fields that will further the interests of both the environment and the economy.

As technology changes and as Britain's needs evolve, it is natural that business, industry, and employment also shift to reflect these changes. To subsidise and promote outmoded jobs and industries simply obstructs the evolving nature of our economy and ultimately constitutes a drag on it. A Natural Law government would promote a healthy economy by promoting new industries and new jobs that serve the evolving needs of both our society and the environment.

In short, the Natural Law Party wants to make Britain a world leader in environmentally friendly industries. From the implementation of this policy, we anticipate a net increase in jobs.
