If we want to preserve and save the environment, there have to be fewer humans on the planet.** TAKE ACTION by signing the petition to Congress asking for increased funding for international family planning programs.

It places enormous pressure on limited natural resources and exacerbates many environmental problems including deforestation, fisheries depletion, water scarcity, pollution and loss of biodiversity and habitat -- which affect the health of all species.

Save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge AGAIN!
Dear Friend,
The Bush White House and Congressional leaders are exploiting rising gas prices to ram through legislation that would destroy the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
These front men for Big Oil are doing their damnedest to convince Americans that sacrificing our nation’s greatest wildlife sanctuary will solve our problems at the gas pump.
It’s a lie.
Here are the facts: the Bush Administration’s own Energy Department says that drilling in the Arctic Refuge will save consumers only one penny per gallon at the pump -- and that’s 20 years from now! The oil companies ... read more Organic Mother's Day Flowers 18 y

Don’t nuke Iran
An exposé by respected insider journalist Seymour Hersh reveals that the US is considering the use of tactical nuclear weapons against Iran. But where would those weapons come from, and where would they strike? Those questions bear deep implications for NATO and innocent civilians in Iran.
Under something known as ‘nuclear burden sharing’ there are currently some 480 US/NATO nuclear bombs spread across six countries: the UK, Italy, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
The US could decide to use any or all of th ... read more Eco-Action Alerts! 18 y

When Manataka challenged me to write an article... I did the first thing all authors do – search the Internet! One of the things that struck me as I conducted my research was the chain of Iroquois women that have promoted peace and unity... And when I came across the following address that was delivered at a meeting of the United Nations to conclude a presentation made by the Haudenosaunee, still a sovereign nation, I was awed and humbled by it’s simplicity and dignity.

Corporate shareholders in Japanese commercial whaling agree to divest their shares in the whaling business!

I have the best news of the year to share with you - are you ready for it? The Gorton’s fisherman and his Japanese parent company have agreed to get out of whaling.
