UNITED NATIONS -- Bolivian President Evo Morales proposed scrapping capitalism and developing clean energies as part of radical measures "to save the planet and mankind." "If we really want to save the planet, we must eliminate the capitalist system," Bolivia's first indigenous president told hundreds of indigenous delegates from around the world. Morales argued that the capitalist system was mainly responsible for climate change and for the "accumulation of waste." He also railed against the development of biofuels which he said only serve to fuel "poverty and hunger" and he instead expressed strong support for clean energies.
