This is indeed a G.I.F.T. we are creating in this community. Thanks, Bruce.</p> <p>I want to promote a frame that Bruce has used here - overdeveloped nations. That would be us in the US. Let's get serious about using this frame by always spelling "overdeveloped" as one word, like "nonviolence" and "propeace." Let's also take advantage of this moment to break up the dichotomy of "developed" versus "developing" nations by using "overdeveloped" not to replace "developed" but rather in addition in order to created three levels of development. </p> <p>We're into April now, and Earth Day is three weeks away. To celebrate, I returned to the <a href="http://www.myfootprint.org/">footprint website</a> to see how heavily I'm treading on the planet. I was dismayed to discover that I'm still consuming 3 1/2 times as much as is available for each person. I know exactly what that's about - My truck and my food. I've already pledged to let my next vehicle be one that can burn biofuel, but since I depend on faith-based food pantries for a significant amount of my food, I don't forsee any possibility to further reduce the impact of mass produced food that is transported over long distances on the size of my footprint. It was a small consolation that my footprint is only about 2/3 the size of the average person in the US.</p> <p>Editor, propeace.net</p> Sat, 01 Apr 2006 00:40:24 -0500 Susan Livingston comment 657 at http://www.propeace.net http://www.propeace.net/node/1112 As every child now learns in Elementary School, it was shortly after the Great Global Consciousness Shift of the mid 21st century which took place during the World Terror Wars, that the foundation for the Global*Peace we now take for granted was created. Early in that century many grassroots organizations laid the seeds for the Departments of Peace that each government eventually created and which now link the world into the reality of tolerance, trust, cooperation and compassion that guide the new energy of Man*Kind into our ever blossoming future. http://www.propeace.net/node/1112#comments news from the future Fri, 31 Mar 2006 02:06:43 -0500 Rainbow Brain 1112 at http://www.propeace.net
