Saving Our Sacred Planet

It’s time to start start Saving our Sacred Planet. Change the way you live, the things you do, the items you buy, to reflect your commitment to helping protect our sacred earth, to help save the planet and all its living creatures. Join us... we all want to do more… a lot more! We want to change what we do and how we do it, and we want to share this information with as many people as we can… to inform, educate, invigorate kids, parents, students, educators, politicians, leaders… to instill passion into the public psyche about the importance of saving and protecting what is most sacred to us… this one big village where we all live called Earth… our very existence depends on it.

This passion to protect and save each other and all life on our planet needs to become a way of life for all of us. We are all connected, all related to each other, family members of vast diversity, connected not only to each other but to all living creatures, to all life. When one part of us is hurt or dies off, it destroys a little bit in every one of us, and eventually we all die off and are forgotten forever.

Send emails and letters to your entire address book. Show you care. Be a part of something that may just grow big enough to change the world. We need to start protecting our sacred earth, to save our planet from a plethora of vast wrong doings:

Global Warming – The most respected scientific organizations have stated unequivocally that global warming is happening, and people are causing it by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. The consequences of continued warming at current rates are likely to be dire. Many densely populated areas, such as low-lying coastal regions, are highly vulnerable to climate shifts. A middle-of-the-range projection is that the homes of 13 to 88 million people around the world would be flooded by the sea each year in the 2080s. Poorer countries and small island nations will have the hardest time adapting. Scarcity of water and food could lead to major conflicts with broad ripple effects throughout the globe. Even if people find a way to adapt, the wildlife and plants on which we depend may be unable to adapt to rapid climate change. While the world itself will not end, the world as we know it may disappear.

Dead Zones – The number of oxygen-deprived "dead zones" in the world's oceans has been increasing since the 1970s and is now nearly 150, threatening fisheries as well as humans who depend on fish, according to a U.N. Environment Program and the Global Environment Outlook Year Book. One “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico sometimes grows to the size of New Jersey. These "dead zones" are caused by an excess of nitrogen from farm fertilizers, sewage and emissions from vehicles and factories. In what experts call a “nitrogen cascade,” the chemical flows untreated into oceans and triggers the proliferation of plankton, which in turn depletes oxygen in the water. Oceans may look pristine but experts warn that life below the sea could collapse.
