The Living Laws
Welcome wild readers.
The Greenie movement started before the Green Bible was discovered. Their initial creation was more about working to save the environment than any kind of political involvement.
When the Green Bible was found and attributed to Marcus Johnson that woke up the green movement and gave them a legitimacy they previously did not have.
When the world government and the LC started they set up what were called the Living Laws. These were a set of rules to live by so that people could preserve the environment. There was no enforcement program but people followed these laws because they saw the need for them.
The Living Laws were mostly about how could people live sustainably in their day to day living. Since humanity had just gone through several decades of one environmental disaster after another no one wanted to do anything that would send Earth back down that path.
A generation later, after the world had been cleaned up and the environment was stable, young people didn’t see the need to follow the Living Laws anymore and society began to fall back into old and wasteful habits.
That is when the Greenies came forth with their Green Bible. They and their book gave people a reason to live in a good way.
The LC jumped on the Greenie bandwagon right away and promoted the Green Bible through their criers. Over the next forty years the Greenies gained more and more influence. By Earth Year 2184 the Greenies were the only viable religion on Earth. Christianity, Islam and Judaism had disappeared or gone underground. Buddhism, Hinduism and the nature cults were gone too except in Cascadia.
That was the beginning of the Pax Veridis.
Tomorrow: How peaceful was the Green Peace?
Never mix red wine with Oodo.
