Environmental Stewardship & Justice
How might we sustain a planet that accommodates our survival and direct benefits from making that happen to those who are bearing the costs?
Goals
- Stewardship - What matters is collaborating to forestall environmental catastrophe.
- Justice - What matters is compensating those that are disproportionately suffering from environmental spoilage or sacrificing for environmental stewardship.
Cap & Trade is a victory for stewardship. We've yet to achieve a victory for justice. A simple start might be a program provides an emissions reduction dividend to those who sacrifice the most or who are most at risk.
Likewise, a gasoline tax by itself will weigh heavier on already vulnerable communities. A people-oriented policy design will be like a gas tax that directly funds a subsidy for the emissions free transportation options favored by the vulnerable communities to give them a chance to avoid the gas tax entirely.

Goals
- Quality Education - What matters is the student experience of learning how to learn and reference knowledge for observing the world around them.
- Every Student - What matters is that a student does not need to make a choice in order to receive a quality education.

How might we meet our health needs throughout our lives in a simple way?
Goals
- Security - What matters is being able to count on coverage for our basic health needs, even when life throws us a curveball.
- For All - What matters is improving the health outcomes of each and every one of us.

A simple solution to Security is to design so a person can independently claim coverage, like social security.

To design For Life, we will look at the most effective solutions for good health in the childhood, throughout our careers, when we are at risk of catastrophe, and providing comfort at the end of life.
