[GMW #4153] End Wasteful Unneeded Purchases - They Are A Cancer On Earth

[GMW #4153] End Wasteful Unneeded Purchases - They Are A Cancer On Earth Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4543 ~
Half of our world production is waste. In the US it is three quarters! When will we awaken to that sad situation?

The Earth:
"Dear Robert, what you say is correct. Sometimes I feel that since I will die anyway in four million years, it might as well happen sooner. Why should I deplore endlessly more wrong human ideas, behavior and actions on my skin? You have become my cancer."

I:
Please dear Earth, do not give up. Millions of humans like me, growing in numbers, want to prevent it.  Guide us, counsel us, give us ideas. We love you dearly.

The Earth:
"Well, to begin with, if only humans could simply decide no longer to buy things which they do not really need."

Chapter 4 - Our Place in Time

In the 17th century, Bishop Usher thought that the Earth was 4000 years old. Then the French naturalist Buffon estimated that it was at least several hundred thousand years old. Today we believe that our planet is more than 4 1/2 billion years old and that our sun and Earth will remain in existence for another 6 to 8 billion years until we explode and vanish again into the universe to become other stars and planets.

We are therefore beginning to wonder how much longer we can grow "economically" at the expense of the planet. Limits to growth have been recognized and the concept of sustainable development is now predominant. Concern about the future is arising and spreading rapidly throughout the human society.

[GMW #4152] Plant Trees In Every Corner Of The Planet

[GMW #4152] Plant Trees In Every Corner Of The Planet  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4542 ~
I can see Chief Executive Officers of big corporations exclaim to their staff, "Plant trees in every corner you can to get those environmentalists off my neck."

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 4 - Our Place in Time

On the eve of the year 1000 humans believed that the world would come to an end.  It didn't, and cathedrals were built to thank God.  We were more hopeful as we neared the year 2000 and had a great Celebration of the Bimillennium.

Now we must settle the last conflicts on Earth and develop for the 21st century a novel vision of the human destiny on our miraculous, celestial planet. Let us plan one positive decade and century after another toward an unprecedented world-wide Trimillennium Celebration.

[GMW #4151] Responsible Humanity Considers Itself A Part Of Nature

[GMW #4151] Responsible Humanity Considers Itself A Part Of Nature   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4541 ~
If humanity succeeds to consider itself as part of nature, of the evolution of life forms on this planet and of being the most advanced, most responsible of these living forms, then we have a chance to save the world and ourselves. But if we consider science, inventions, industries, constructions, buildings, wealth acquisition, the stock markets and national sovereignty to be the highest values and objectives, then we will destroy the Earth and her miraculous long-term achievements over millions of years, and possibly ourselves.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 4 - Our Place in Time

There are scientists who believe that everything can be explained by evolution.  Yet evolution is only a small period of time of a few million years on our minuscule planet in a minor solar system.  Creation is infinitely vaster and more mysterious than what we can ever comprehend. Evolution is just a drop in the cosmic sea.

This does not mean that we are not a marvelous planet, a tremendous achievement, a true jewel in the universe. Everything in Creation is a manifestation of a sublime, stupendous force, of cosmic blueprints or designs.  But scientists must not limit life on our planet to a theory of evolution. There is infinitely more in the heavens and on Earth than in any human theory.

[GMW #4150] Look In To The Question Of Resolving Incredible Injustices


[GMW #4150] Look In To The Question Of Resolving Incredible Injustices   Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4540 ~
The Bin Laden terrorism was retaliated by a terrorism against thousands of humans, including women and children in Afghanistan.

So we get now retaliatory terrorism in addition to terrorism.  Are we entering an era of upheavals, protests, terrorism and revolutions against the incredible injustices still prevailing on Earth and against the Earth?

We better look into that question. It is especially preoccupying, in view of the increase of population in the poor countries by 3 billion in the next 50 years.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I - The Great Scene of Creation
Chapter 4 - Our Place in Time
We have learned to see into the infinitely large and infinitely small. We have made immense progress in investigating our planet's present and past. 

But we are barely beginning to conceive our future, our place and role in evolution. The most important dimension of planetary management is still to come.

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that
going to the mountains is going home; that
wildness is a necessity; and that
mountain parks and reservations are useful
not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but
as fountains of life.
~ John Muir
