[GMW #2632] Establishing Human & Nature's Rights For Future Generations


[GMW #2632] Establishing Human & Nature's Rights For Future Generations Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3029 ~   

The general conference of UNESCO deserves congratulations for opening a new chapter of human rights:  the rights of future generations.  It is circulating a Draft Declaration of the Responsibilities of the present generation towards future generations.  It provides for the safeguarding of vital aspects of life and well-being of future generations including "freedom of choice in political, economic, social, cultural and religious matters; maintenance and perpetuation of humankind and life on Earth; protection of the environment, bio-diversity, the human genome and the common heritage of humankind; preservation of cultural diversity and heritage, peace development, education and non-discrimination".

I hope that these human rights of our descendants will be given high priority on the agenda of world affairs.

Collect, produce your own coffer of pearls filled with happiness.  This is what I have done with my life.  And I have reaped untold joys.

Landfill Harmonic: An Orchestra Like No Other

A cello made from an oil can and pieces of wood thrown in the garbage; a saxophone made of spoons and buttons. These are the instruments crafted by Nicolas, a recycler with no previous experience making musical instruments, living hand-to-mouth by the garbage dump in Catuera, Paraguay.

Inspired by this initiative and creativity, Maestro Luis Szaran, director of "Sounds of the Earth," formed a "recycled orchestra" with children living at the dump. "Our main goal isn't to form good musicians, but to form good citizens."

Now 30 members strong, listen to the breathtaking sounds of these recycled instruments and the hopes and dreams of the children who play them. { read more and watch the film }
