[GMW #3184] I Will Never Give Up Nurturing A Better World - I Will Speak & Create New Ideas Endlessly


[GMW #3184] I Will Never Give Up Nurturing A Better World - I Will Speak & Create New Ideas Endlessly
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3584 ~
The Earth:
"Dear Robert, looking at what has happened to me on my surface since the end of World War II I do see the following dangerous explosions:
A world population explosion in the poor countries.
A world consumption explosion in the rich countries.
A world urban explosion in both rich and poor countries.
A world waste explosion still mainly in the rich countries.
All this has led already to a good deal of my destruction. Regarding the population explosion there was first a good reaction, but the future remains catastrophic with a world population increase from 6.1 billion today to 8.91 billion in 2050.

The consumption explosion still accelerates madly in the rich countries and is becoming the ideal, the craving of the poor countries. There are not even decent world statistics and studies on the subject.

On the urban explosion few are raising the subject. The monstrous cities continue to grow year after year until they will have to be abandoned, having become uninhabitable.

As for the waste explosion you have reached the point that one half of all the world's production is now waste and it goes on and on. No effort whatsoever is being done to stop it, except recycling which has become a new profitable business.

Where am I going with all this, dear Robert? It looks like a cataclysm for my evolution. It might lead to my end. What do you say?"

I:
Dear Earth, I am afraid you are right. I'm doing my best in my writings and speeches, but they are a drop of water in the ocean. Why don't you say what you just said to me to the 189 heads of states who govern this planet? Put it into their heads during their sleep.

All I can do is to continue to be your spokesman and never to give up. I will come up with as many new ideas as possible. Please put your own into my head and heart during my sleep.

The Earth:
"I will, I promise you."

[GMW #3164] Nurturing Forest With Ever Less Printing Of Newspapers


[GMW #3164] Nurturing Forest With Ever Less Printing Of Newspapers

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3564 ~
When I see the US newspapers, especially the Sunday editions of the big cities I feel literally sick. I am thinking of the vast forests which were destroyed to produce them even if recycling has diminished that damage. With the population increase of the world and the spread of newspapers in developing countries on the US model, this alone is a mortal menace to the future of the Earth.

Even if all my efforts for the peace and joy of this planet were vain, I would still exclaim with the poet:
"It is better to have loved and lost
Than to have lost and never loved."

[GMW #3163] Newspapers Reduce Pages & Waste


[GMW #3163] Newspapers Reduce Pages & Waste

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3563 ~
Another monstrosity to correct is the daily colossal waste of American newspapers spreading all over that country and the world. The reader has to pay not only for the paper used of which he reads and needs only a minimal part, but also the cost of waste removal, recycling or pure destruction. That is another brilliant achievement of capitalism.

Why don't newspapers publish brief daily papers of a few pages with the essential news and information to the majority of readers? There should be national laws requiring it.

Life would be so much more beautiful if we repeated, whenever we feel it, the words Faust was seeking in vain all his life:

Verweile doch, Du bist so schön."
"O moment remain. You are so beautiful."

Dear God, make it that someday humanity will be so just, so peaceful, so loving, so kind, so radiant, so healthy, so grateful that all humans shall exclaim:
"O moment remain. You are so beautiful."

[GMW #3125] Nurturing Earth For The Next Hundreds & Thousands Of Years


[GMW #3125] Nurturing Earth For The Next Hundreds & Thousands Of Years

 - Only Make Choices That Benefit Everyone - People And Nature - Over The Long Run

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3525 ~
The Earth:

"Dear Robert, poor humans create during their lifetime a total of solid wastes equivalent to 150 times their body weight. Rich humans like the Americans leave behind a total of solid waste which is 4000 times the weight of their body. Multiply this by 4.7 billion times for the first and by 1.2 billion times for the second and you will get the staggering following results:

Over a period of sixty years (their longevity) the poor people of the world leave behind solid waste equivalent to 705 billion times the weight of a poor person.

The rich countries leave behind over a period of seventy years (their longevity) a waste equivalent to 4,800 billion times the weight of a rich human.

In addition all these humans are not even returned to my body for recycling but are burned or locked in concrete vaults, in wooden coffins which cost vast forests of mine.

And dear Robert, look at the UN population forecasts for the year 2050: 7.7 billion people in the poor countries and thank God less, namely 1.16 billion in the rich ones.

Do similar calculations for the emission of carbon dioxide per human individual in the rich and in the poor countries and you will get similar mind boggling results (see Idea 2709).

How do you think that under such conditions I will survive? It is totally impossible if you do not change very drastically and urgently your course. Never on this planet has your course been so blind."

I:

Dear Earth, you are right and I will strongly recommend as I have done so already before that

Everything we do today must be considered on its consequences during the next one hundred and even one thousand years.

The major effects of our doings on your fate, dear, beautiful Earth, are the big figures.

We must always calculate everything by the big figures which will profoundly mark our future.
We have never done this before except a number of projections by UN agencies such as population forecasts and even these were not taken seriously enough and had only a moderate influence in correcting the situation at first.

[GMW #2913] Never Forget To Help The Environment


[GMW #2913] Never Forget To Help The Environment Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
                                            ~ Idea 3307 ~
Dear housewives, do not buy colored paper towels or towels with colored designs or inscriptions.  They only add artificial colors to what is returned to the Earth through waste disposals and recycling.  Use only white paper, or do not use paper towels at all: use cloth towels which can be washed and reused many times.  Every bit multiplied by the 6.1 billions we are helps the environment.  Never forget it.

Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
Life, life, life, o God-given life, how I love you, how I am in passion with you!
