An ecological or environmental or other catastrophe would be such a critical mass. But what a shame that governments do not sit down and look frontally at this situation. I have made that appeal to all the heads of states on the occasion of their year 2000 meeting in the United Nations. No response. I have appealed to the Secretary General Mr. Kofi Annan to convene urgently a world conference on the future of humanity and of the Earth. He answered me that this will be done by the heads of state in 2002 at a world conference in Johannesburg on sustainable development. Let us hope so.

In their view, the last goal of life should be to become a sanyassin, a guru (teacher), a holy person, a saint. What a wise philosophy that is! * UN News: UN Chronicle, United Nations News Service, UN Wire Archive References: Earth Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Rights of: Children,Women, IndigenousPeople To Be Written: Rights of Nature, Birds, Animals, Fish, etc. WORD FOR THE DAY Looking behind I am filled with gratitude.

[GMW #2900] Edu-Tourism - Right Ecological Care Of Nature When Tourists Go Home

[GMW #2900] Edu-Tourism - Right Ecological Care Of Nature When Tourists Go Home Thursday 23 January 2014, Editor: Easy RobertMuller.org| Contact| Subscribe | Unsubscribe Biography| World Core Curriculum | Store | Facebook | Twitter GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish| Tagalog | Dutch Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500 ~ Idea 3295 ~ There is a lot of talk and advertisement for eco-tourism, meaning ecological tourism: to visit the natural highpoints of our planet.  More important in my view should be the term edu-tourism, the education of a right ecological care of nature when the tourists go home.  More generally I have increasing doubts about tourism, which has become a major source of pollution and destruction of the Earth through carbon dioxide emitted by transports, especially long distance aviation, construction of hotels, roads and airports etc.  Tourism must absolutely be seriously reviewed in all its aspects.  It has become a new, colossal business, a novel cause for more Earth destruction.  If measured by ecology economists, world tourism might show negative results for the Earth.  Good ecology starts at home.  This is where it should be loved, taught and practiced. As a first improvement I recommend that people should ecodiscipline themselves and go on tourism only every second, third or fifth year. The Earth: "Dear Robert, I thank you for saying this.  What I see happening to me through tourism is often destruction.  Education tourism, good ecology at home and personal ecodiscipline should be the major approaches." Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life Every day we should thank our body, our cells, our eyes, our ears, our heart, our hands, our brain, our lungs, our legs, our stomach, our bowels and all other organs for serving us so well, so faithfully and so long.  We should ask them for forgiveness when we mistreat them, poison them with drugs, tobacco and alcohol, risk them and do not love them dearly enough. * UN News: UN Chronicle, United Nations News Service, UN Wire Archive References: Earth Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Rights of: Children,Women, IndigenousPeople To Be Written: Rights of Nature, Birds, Animals, Fish, etc. Daily Ray of Hope Flickr user Jeri Childs Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us. ~ Henri Matisse More from Robert Muller: RobertMuller.org Subscribe to/or unsubscribe from Robert Muller's GoodMorningWorld.org

Among other things I said: The number, complexity and significance of scientific, technological, economic, social and ecological interdependencies on planet Earth are so great that the subject would warrant being a new discipline, a science of interdependencies or total Earth science.  Separate notions such as technology, economics, social science, ecology, political science are losing much of their distinctness.  The separation of man from the Earth is also an error.  Humans are part and product of the Earth and her evolution.  A comprehensive scientific and ethical approach is needed which will help maximize the physical, mental, affective and spiritual fulfillment of humans, present and future, within inherited conditions and the further evolution of our planet henceforth dominated by the human race.  We are still far from such a concept of planetary science and ethics but several major elements have been pressing in this direction of late. Well, a quarter of a century later not very much has changed: we have now the beginning of a planetary science called biosphere science, the sphere of life, but not yet of a total Earth science including the biosphere, and we are still far away from a global ethics.  The first serious step is the Earth Charter drafted by the Earth Council and being circulated in 2000 to all governments  (see its text in Annex of Volume VI). Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 11 Of Gratitude Suppose humanity lost its eyesight or its hearing, speaking, thinking or loving capacity?  Would it not be a catastrophe?  Shouldn't we therefore be grateful for being endowed with these stupendous senses and capacities?  Is "stupendous" too strong?  Well, think how you would feel, if you lost a single one of them! * UN News: UN Chronicle, United Nations News Service, UN Wire Archive References: Earth Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Rights of: Children,Women, IndigenousPeople To Be Written: Rights of Nature, Birds, Animals, Fish, etc. Daily Ray of Hope Erik R Walker | Big Bend National Park, TX On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche More from Robert Muller: RobertMuller.org Subscribe to/or unsubscribe from Robert Muller'sGoodMorningWorld.org

This would mean that with an average yearly population increase of 50 million people and a continued worldwide increase of production, construction, consumption, air, sea and soil traffic, the whole nature of this PLANET MIGHT BE IN JEOPARDY IN SIXTY YEARS FROM NOW. This is obviously not acceptable and would lead to economic and ecological disaster. We must therefore declare a world emergency to prevent it by all means. I would recommend to the Secretary General of the UN to establish a World Committee on Environmental Emergencies.
