Environmental responsibility is not inhibiting growth or an economy.

Austria is a magnificent country. As of late it's concerns are more about the rise of the right wing political parties than any other issue. 

The ranting of any USA President has a profound effect on the global dialogue. Recently, Austria has found the need to state it was also responsible for the Holocaust. The reason for such statements is the fact the political right wing has risen in popularity due to Trumps rantings. It is an issue for them. They, unfortuantely, have not followed the example of Germany and it's moral objection to such people within power. The people of Germany are more than watchful of such authoritarian regimes. The people of Austria are only beginning their awareness that in the year 2018 there are still White Supremacist lingerings in the world that can be just as dangerous.

But, other than that, Austria has maintained a wonderful population balance that provides a high quality of life for it's citizens. This has provided a very stable country that has been a magnificent example of caring for its forests to achieve status as a responsible country during Earth's climate crisis brought on by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. 

Austria is proof it is possible to live happy lives in a responsible manner that insures the future generations of their place on Earth. Austria is successful in every measure in providing quality of life, stablity for it's citizens, environmental mastery, responsible conservation and an economy that is more than impressive in this modern era.

Kindly remember that Austria has not been the hub of peace either. It has played violent parts in WWI and WWII. It isn't as though a military machine can't be tamed to honor and respect the land and future generations.

The environmental report of Austria includes anthropogenic greenhouse gases:

...Austria (click here) has achieved its climate change mitigation target under the Kyoto ProtocolThe share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption has been rising continuously and amounted to as much as 32.2 % in 2012...

Every aspect of the environment is accounted for, including, air and water quality. Austria is a proud country today. How many can say that? The USA cannot.

One more thing. The 'idea' the Republicans carry as an economic standard, in that, population growth is necessary to provide economic GROWTH. "W"rong! When are the Republicans and Wall Street going to stop coveting a woman's uterus to insure profits in the USA?
