Why the environment should be safe guarded for the benefit of all.

1. Corruption destroys the nations ability to uphold the rule of law and our fundamental rights. It destroys Financial stability and leads to the dcline of economies.
2. When public finance and the economy fails, the environment is the first to suffer as poverty stricken peoples in indebted states in a highly inflated cash market has no other valuable asset to sell other than those we are only supposed to be custodians of, our nature.
3. When National Security fails, finance and economy of the nation fails, leading the above situation.
4. When National Security fails, the environment is abused via illicit activities and is held hostage. When the Environment fails, the National Security of the nation also fails. I.e. Sri Lanka has been listed in the most climate risk vulnerable nations for the past 5-10 years.
5. When National Security fails, our Fundamental rights are not upheld. We will have to suffer the consequences of acts of terrorism, of war, of autocracies and military juntas.
6. Corruption leads to the decline of our ability to protect our Fundamental rights and the decline of the upholding of our FR leads to corruption and risks National Security.
7. Corruption directly devastates our Environment.
8. When the Environment fails provide intergenerational equity and value necessary for sustainable development leading to a content, secure, healthy, abundant life, our FR are not upheld.

The importance of Health, Education, Industry and Technology and the many facets of a nations development should not be second-handed to those described above. Some ideas such as the use of technological tools and automation to bring about efficiency and transparency is touched upon the constitutional components developed as well. When the Environment fails due to our mismanagement of her resources or overconsumption, everything else fails.
