iGreens.org Individualist Environmentalism
"Why do so many 21st century environmentalists ignore the lessons of the 20th century?
Planning works when everyone can agree on their aims, but decentralised systems
reconcile different interests better.
Political decision-making favours short-term solutions and the interests of
well-organised groups. The poor, and those who care about the future do better to
trust the market.
Collective ownership is usually wasteful - the tragedy of the commons. Conservationists
should avoid creating new commons and where possible turn natural ones such as fisheries
and forests over to private ownership.
If politicians refrain from interfering, the market will ensure that the eventual users
make the best use of resources.
Rights to compensation for pollution should be freely marketed. Under relatively simple
institutional constraints the person who comes to own the rights will be the one who
can reduce pollution most cheaply.
Much environmental wisdom is bound up in traditional institutions and practices which
may appear cruel or wasteful to modern eyes. Well-meaning efforts to improve things
often have environmentally harmful consequences.
Few environmentalists have taken these lessons to heart. Even governments that have
painfully learnt the virtues of the market for the rest of economic activity all too
easily backslide to an easy collectivism on the environment.
Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth advocate planned limits to fossil fuel burning
rather than markets in carbon quotas. The latter would achieve the same effect more
cheaply or a larger benefit at the same cost.
Populist politicians try to prohibit traditional hunting practices both in rural Tory
shires, and by primitive peoples in Greenland.
Tax-funded roads, rural bus services, childcare subsidies*, common agricultural policies,
foreign aid, national health services, and state parks, all create new commons. Whether
or not they are desirable for other reasons they are harmful to the environment.
iGreens aim to maintain the environment by reminding people of these lessons, and
ensuring that they are applied by those in power. Since iGreens respect the legitimate
interests both of the present generation and of all economic and social groups, they are
likely to have greater long-term effect than environmentalists who advocate more radical
simplistic solutions."

Private property rights encourage stewardship of resources.
Government subsidies often degrade the environment.
Market incentives spur individuals to conserve resources and protect environmental quality.
Polluters should be liable for the harm they cause others."
