~ Idea 34 ~ 13 August 1994 Each UN World conference on overpopulation in the poor countries should be accompanied by a world conference on overconsumption and waste in the rich countries. While the poor countries should listen to the UN and adopt policies reducing the excessive growth of their populations, the rich countries where people use thirty times more resources than the people in the poor countries must adopt more simple and frugal lives, avoiding by all means wasteful, harmful and unnecessary consumption. Our life styles must radically change if this Earth and humanity are to survive. * |

I would like to see these two sentences displayed in all schools on Earth: "We die on the day our lives cease to be illuminated by a wonder beyond all reason." Dag Hammarskjöld "The tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside of us while we live." Norman Cousins * |

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world -- that is the myth of the "atomic age" -- as in being able to remake ourselves.
