[GMW #3375] Create Semi-Annual Coordination Committee Meetings For The Ocean, Lakes, Rivers, Mountains And Deserts Of The World


[GMW #3375] Create Semi-Annual Coordination Committee Meetings For The Ocean, Lakes, Rivers, Mountains And Deserts Of The World  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea  3769 ~
I recommend the following at the United Nations Coordination Committee semi-annual meetings:
- That Coordination Committees be created for each ocean, each great lake, international river and other common geographic entities such as mountains, deserts, etc. The Andean Forum and the Alaska Forum provide examples.

Why should the search for happiness be only material and mental? Aren't there untold riches in the moral, the sentimental and the spiritual realms?

[GMW #2951] Increasing Forests And Fields Diminishing Highrises And Parking Lots


Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3345 ~
We should not live in a world of diminishing forests and fields and increasing highrises, skyscrapers, parking lots and airports.

To be alive! What wonders, what riches we can extract from the mere fact of being alive! No wealth on Earth can ever match the worth of a single human life.

WORD FOR THE DAY
The mystery of God touches us -- or does not -- in the smallest details:
giving a strawberry, with love;
receiving a touch, with love;
sharing the snapdragon red of an autumn sunset, with love.
~ Marion Woodman, Coming Home to Myself

[GMW #2815] Earth Prefers Non-Tourism, No Tourism At All


[GMW #2815] Earth Prefers Non-Tourism, No Tourism At All  Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3210 ~   

Eco-tourism is to bring people into real, beautiful, natural, preserved areas, for example primeval forests in Costa Rica.  Edu-tourism is to educate tourists how they can love and take good care of their own ecology when they return home.

Business-tourism is to see penguins, geese, ducks and exotic fishes swim in ponds at skyscraper hotels.

The Earth:
"I would prefer non-tourism, no tourism at all.  Every human family should take good care of its natural environment and not take planes to distant places releasing huge quantities of carbon dioxide into my atmosphere.  Can you imagine what outer space inspectors visiting the Earth would say if they saw the incredible traveling around me destroying my airs?"

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 11 Of Gratitude
What riches I can and do extract from the mere fact of being alive!  No wealth on Earth can ever match the worth of the miracle of life.  Hence the need to ceaselessly express our immense gratitude to God.

WORD FOR THE DAY
I personally believe that each of us was put here for a purpose
– to build not to destroy.
If I can make people smile,
then I have served my purpose for God.

[GMW #2391] Living Lightly and Gently With Planet Earth

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1256 ~
18 December 1997
I observe that the firms of the rich countries are exporting frenetically bad consumption habits to the poor countries. Where the latter used to consume a large variety of healthy fruit juices (naturales as they call them in Costa Rica) and local foods, today it is fashionable to drink carbonated sugared drinks, to eat hamburgers and to smoke American cigarettes.

In locally made clothes they put labels "Made in America", because through advertisement which is cheap here, the people are programmed to crave for American products.

A US citizen consumes 30 times what a person in a poor country consumes and leaves behind during a lifetime a mountain of garbage 4000 times his weight, against 150 times the weight of a person in a poor country. From the point of view of the Earth, while there is a population explosion in the poor countries, there is a worse consumption explosion in the rich ones. There are today 4.4 billion people in the poor countries and 1.2 billion in the rich.

But the Earth could complain and say: since you the rich consume thirty times more of my resources, I consider that you represent thirty times 1.2 people, i.e. a population of 36 billion. And if the poor countries should someday have the same consumption levels and patterns as the rich countries, their 4.4 billion would have to be multiplied by 30, yielding a total of 132 billion!

As you live your daily lives in the US and in other rich countries, you do not see this. But when you look at it from a world point of view, it is a major problem.

WORD FOR THE DAY

We have thousands of opportunities every day to be grateful:
for having good weather, to have slept well last night,
to be able to get up, to be healthy, to have enough to eat. ...
There's opportunity upon opportunity to be grateful;
that's what life is.

-- Brother David Steindl-Rast
