EARTH TRUSTEE FORMULA
The Actions That Can Do The Most For You And Your Planet
The first view of Earth from Space inspired the idea of Earth
Day. "We set out to explore Space and discovered
Earth." From this came the idea we should all think
and act as Trustees of Earth.
In a prelude to a better future, on March 20, 1998, outriders of
Planet Earth celebrated Earth Day in Space. At the Mir
Space Station there was a brief ceremony that included the
special moment when the Peace Bell at the United Nations was rung
as Spring began (2:55 p.m. in New York). Astronauts, Cosmonauts
and people on Earth joined at that time in a brief dedication to
be responsible trustees of Earth.
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 be motivated to deepen
their commitment and take action – personally and with any
group you belong to. Forward this to a few friends and
suggest they do the same. Let's circle the world now
with a positive Earth Trustee vision that can rejuvenate our
planet.
EARTH DAY – On the March Equinox.
Aiding our endeavor will be a yearly EARTH DAY (a human family
reunion) on Nature’s day – March 20-21, 1999.
Bells will ring all over the world when the United Nations’
Peace Bell is rung at the moment Spring begins in the Year
2000. That Earth Day will signal the end of a tragic
millennium of degradation and presage a new Earth Trustee
Millennium.
