citizens of Planet Earth have now registered
their wish to rescue the planet and all living species from
inevitable demise, due to degeneration, disaster and war.
We recognize the inter-dependence and inherent sanctity of
the Web of Life and we believe every man, woman and child
should have equal rights and respect, by virtue of their birth
upon the planet.
We ask that our planet and only home be cleaned
up and made fit for ongoing population by future generations
of all species. We want the Planet made healthy and beneficial
for all Life.
We want all activities, which support warfare
and armed violence from one man to another, to cease immediately.
All industries which are built upon over
supply of unnecessary items must cease, as the ecosphere cannot
sustain this waste of resources.
If a commodity cannot be generated in a fashion
of which the by-product is in no way toxic to the Life cycle
of Man, by either use or by manufacturing, then it does not
have the right to be produced. We call all those who use the
Earth in any way, who introduce poisons into the soil, the
water, or the air, or destroy habitats, to desist from those
activities immediately, and put all their efforts and their
people, their planners, their inventors, their doctors and
their marketers, to work, repairing the damage which their
product has caused.
We do not think that any life forms should
be exploited or cruelly treated, under any circumstance. We
call for cessation of experimentation with the life processes
of any species, for any reasons other than for the benefit
of those who are ill or in pain. To alter the animals in ways
that makes them unable to live from Nature is unnecessary,
unthinking and cruel.
We believe that every man and woman and child
has the right to grow food in sufficient quantities to adequately
feed themselves, and that any activities which inhibit or
prevent this happening, be immediately terminated. Earth,
water, and seed must be made available and a time of safety
in which to plant and harvest the vital crops, must be guaranteed.
All those whose job is to maintain warfare and destruction
must turn their activities to assist in repairing the damage
to the point that the land can bear again, and support her
children.
We believe that if we have basic understanding
and agreement that the above are significant pre-requisites
to a new paradigm upon the Earth, we can live in harmony with
each other in fairness and respect; that the Planet can be
saved and that human life can evolve into a compassionate
species with a viable future.
We acknowledge that there is no-one but ourselves
and our fellow travelers in the Family of Life on Earth to
help to create an earth where no child need go in fear of
pain and hunger and betrayal and desolation are no longer.
One small voice crying in the wilderness
to another and being heard, is like the joining together of
the raindrops to make a torrent which becomes a giant and
powerful river. We hear you and we offer you this pledge,
that when our counters reach one billion, we will then have
sufficient support in the form of universal agreement, to
change the course of Life on Earth, from inane destruction
to an understanding of how precious is the place where we
all live, and how we must think together to bring about the
end of destruction and the commencement of living.
