by John McConnell -- The Man Who Sarted Earth Day
Internet and communications in general have spawned thousands of efforts for a better future. In spite of this, the world is in a terrible state. A fundamental need is for worthwhile actions and projects to connect when they can help one another. Also needed, is an awareness of being engaged in a worldwide common cause. The annual celebration of Earth Day on Nature's event -- the March Equinox - can best bring the global connections and sense of common commitment that is needed. Every effort for peace, justice or the care of Earth, should plan for and promote special events on Earth Day. Any organization or business with altruistic goals should give special attention to Earth Day in their plans and publications. They should indicate they are an Earth Trustee institution and show how their efforts are aiding the Earth Trustee goals. Earth Trustee Formula The Actions That Can Do The Most For People and Planet The Earth Trustee idea is appealing to people of every creed and culture. It is very simple and powerful. All that is needed is for every individual and institution to think and act as a trustee of Earth, seeking in their own way to: "Make choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and nurture people and planet." We can now halt the awful record of history with its injustice, wars and violence. Napoleon once said, "Imagination rules the world." Internet opens new opportunities to capture the imagination of the world with a solution that can appeal to all. Projects and efforts that are achieving Earth Trustee goals can be posted as Earth Trustee actions on message boards and forums. Here is a chance for people of religious faith to prove their faith by their works. Let every person who receives this message deepen their commitment and take action. Forward this to a few friends. Let's circle the world now with a positive Earth Trustee vision that can rejuvenate our planet. John McConnell -- the man who started Earth Day
