Agenda 21 - 7: Promoting Sustainable Human Settlement Development, Earth Summit, 1992
Agenda 21 - 7: Promoting Sustainable Human Settlement Development, Earth Summit, 1992
Still wading through this site trying to find the gap where the crowbar was inserted to permit the establishment of such things as Agenda 21 moorings. No luck yet, although as a woman maybe I can try for some special exemptions. I'll have to work on a prospectus of my particular rights and see if BW will buy the idea..... I'd love to have a chance to declare a large percentage of the Rochdale as my 'home mooring'. Wonder what the people who pay for moorings would think? No, I don't, really, it might be unprintable.

I'm reading through this site, trying to find out where it applies to moorings and the rights of certain boaters to declare their right to establish a claim to a length of public towpath. From what I can see, the Agenda 21 and ESA statements are intended to assist people in poverty or homeless populations achieve a certain level of housing, freedom from poverty and encourage people to live in a way that does not contribute to the economic and environmental problems of the world in general. It doesn't say that simply declaring that you have a 'green' lifestyle while basically existing in the same framework as most other boaters gives you a special status. One boat in particular, the one mentioned several days ago, has a coal stove, a gas hob and oven, a diesel engine which makes it virtually indistinguishable from any other boat on the system, and probably considerably less 'green' than many boats that don't claim any sort of Agenda 21 mooring rights.
I hope to get a clear statement from British Waterways as the overseeing body for the waterways systems as to what qualifies a boat as an Agenda 21 boat, which waters are eligible for such special status and why the general boating public doesn't have the same opportunity to claim the same special rights given to a very small but obviously very privileged minority.
