Common Law Declaration of Nature’s Rights
We are at a crossroad, a turning point in the life of “man” where the paramount question is no longer how we treat each other, but how we treat the delicate balance of the biosphere that supports us.
How we treat our home in space “Mother Earth” will determine whether man, all other species under the water, on the ground, and in the air, will continue to exist.
We are no longer simply subjects of the forces of nature. We because of our numbers and our science, are a force of nature.
In the past cultures that where close to nature showed a reverence that spoke of being at one with the Earth. In expressions that manifested as a spirit that would not disturb a twig in passing, or taking more than needed for one’s self or family. The oral traditions that taught this reverence for the Earth and it’s ways are becoming lost in a world that is no longer in harmony with nature, a world peopled by beings that sees only an exploitable resource to satisfy their less than venerable motives.
There is a Universal Declaration of Human Rights to declare standards that enforced protect living human beings. I know It’s an odd human self absorbed term, we also have humane societies to protect the rights of animals.
The question; is our mother earth not a living being that resonates with all it’s own living attributes in ways that sustain us and the whole biosphere. Is it not time a Common Law Declaration of Nature’s Rights be drafted and defended by laws with the same weight and force as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to protect that holistic integrity.
It’s now time to decide where in history we will be remembered with regard to our stand on the greatest issues mankind has ever faced.
We stand on the threshold; an ever narrowing time frame; with only a few years to correct problems that took several centuries to create.
The question to be answered is; as a civilization are we going to continue to focus in on the small wonder, self absorbed, vain-glorious, self-aggrandizing, narrow minded, personal, family, and tribal narcissistic habits of the past. Or as a global consciousness of men and women; compassionately take responsibility for the devastation our unbridled sense gratification is causing and will cause to the hundreds of millions of men and women and perhaps billions of men and women around the world as time marches on.
While you ponder all the possibilities think of the species going extinct, tens of millions of the most common birds in North America have disappeared. In some species of birds the numbers have dropped by 60-80 percent.
The honeybees are also disappearing. Without their help in pollination most of the plant life we depend on will have only four years to survive.
Think of the ice caps melting and the sea levels rising; if all the ice melts low lying delta lands and sovereign Island Countries like The Maldives, The Netherlands, and the vast region from the coast of India to Mumbai will disappear displacing forever over 100,000,000 million people.
Think of the massive rising tide of unprecedented storms created by the warming oceans in the tropics that have the power to devastate coastal cities that stood for hundreds of years.
Think not only of the hundreds you hear of dying now daily, the loss of property, and way of life of those already suffering; think of the possible billions that will suffer in the future if something is not done to stem the tide.
Ask yourself am I being the natural human being I was born to be and most important; is my body writing cheques my spirit can`t afford to pay.
While you are deciding read the five part article on “Infinite Free Clean Energy” to learn how it’s possible to be energy independent, never pay for fuel, and save our planet; also visit the sites listed in the blogroll.
There are solution! You will be amazed to find out there are technologies available that according to scientists make it necessary to re-write or modify some entrenched and conservative thinking regarding the second law of thermal-dynamics; all effects can be demonstrated and reproduced.
Self sustaining power generators that generate more power than they use scalable for home installation like a furnace. That means you can be off-grid and never pay for hydro or any kind of fuel again.
There are car engines that can run on tap water, sea water, or even snow or simple compressed air or the newly rediscovered universally present ion power, or captured from the magnetism of the earth. Better yet a magnetic motor that never needs servicing or fuel and can last up to 400 years that would make the use of fossil fuels obsolete or another model that generates a sell-able surplus when not being used to transport you around.
Do we carry on in the belief that it would be to disturbing to make the changes necessary and selfishly destroy the Earth rendering it useless for future generations. That sounds like mass genocide to me. Or morally shoulder the responsibility of making the adjustments necessary to atune with the planet no matter what the short term cost may be.
