When I keep aluminum cans for them or pick them up during my cleaning up of "the cleanest mile on Earth" between my little farmhouse and the University for Peace, I remember this information on aluminum cans: • When one tosses out one aluminum can one wastes as much energy as if one filled the same can half full of gasoline and poured it onto the ground. • If one throws away an aluminum can, it will still litter the Earth up to 500 years. • In 1988 alone, aluminum can recycling saved more than 11 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, enough to supply the residential needs of New York City for six months. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 5 - Of Love We need not only philanthropy (phil, anthropos, love for humans), but also gaiaphily (gaia, the Greek goddess Earth, love for Mother Earth). And why not also familyphily (love of the family), egophily (love for the self) and ecophily or earthphily (love for Earth and of her nature)?

[GMW #2299] Direct People to People, Family to Family Aid

[GMW #2299] Direct People to People, Family to Family Aid Wednesday 5 October 2011, Editor: Easy | RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Biography | World Core Curriculum | Store | NEW Facebook | Twitter | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | Please view and LIKE Robert's NEW Public Figure Facebook Page (click on this Link) Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500 ~ Idea 1130 ~ 14 August 1997 The preceding idea leads me to propose that the United Nations conceive a World Plan of Direct People to People, Family to Family Aid. Now people in rich countries are taxed by governments to provide governmental foreign aid, which is costly to administer, cause of bureaucracy and often misdirected towards purchases of armaments and other goods which the giving government or big firms want to sell. It reminds me of my mother, a poor milliner who was so happy whenever she looked at the photos of a poor African orphan whom she had adopted at the recommendation of a priest. She loved and supported that child with her modest means until she died without ever meeting the little boy.

"Why does beauty exist? What's the point of marveling at a Rembrandt self portrait or a Bach fugue? To paraphrase Auden, beauty makes nothing happen. Unlike our more primal indulgences, the pleasure of perceiving beauty doesn't ensure that we consume calories or procreate. Rather, the only thing beauty guarantees is that we'll stare for too long at some lovely looking thing. Museums are not exactly adaptive. Here's my (extremely speculative) theory: Beauty is a particularly potent and intense form of curiosity. [...] Put another way, beauty is a motivational force that helps modulate conscious awareness. The problem beauty solves is the problem of trying to figure out which sensations are worth making sense of and which ones can be easily ignored." This Wired Magazine article offers an insightful look into the neuroscience of beauty. { read more } Be The Change "There is a wonderful urgency within things to realize the dream of their individual fulfillment. Nothing is neutral, everything is on its way." John O'Donohue shares beautifully in this short passage. { more } Books recommended by Robert are here.

What if in rich countries there would be an "adopt a family program" under which a US family would adopt a family and their land in Nicaragua or in another similar country. Families from overcrowded rich cities would go and spend vacations with their adopted family whose living conditions they could help improve and imitate. Some of my fondest memories are of summers spent on a very rustic farm in Oregon, catching trout for breakfast, collecting eggs and gathering vegetables fresh from the garden, which you never get in a city. - Barbara Gaughen Muller The new Natural Law Party in which western scientists converge with eastern spiritualists can become the political arm of that ideology.

It will never get into my head that the people allow without protest or tax revolution, the colossal duplications of governmental expenses of 185 nations when so much could be saved if they would do things together. One example would be a security system for the entire world, the same way as there is one for each nation, which prevents the states or provinces from having each their own army. If they had, there would be hundreds of armies on this planet. We still have to replace 170 national armies by one world or United Nations Security System or Force. It will never get into my head that so many humans spend their time and intelligence to invent new technologies, products and "services" to be marketed, and so little on ideas for social improvements, more justice, a better way of governing this planet and preserving it. I cannot help concluding that the nation-state has reached a stage similar to the one that existed when George Washington exclaimed: "The primary cause of all disorders lies in the different state governments and in the tenacity of that power which pervades the whole of their systems."
