Worldwide Independence Day for Earth

*This "call to action" is inspired by and dedicated to many friends of the Care2 network, people worldwide working together to make a difference!*

Everyday is the fight for the freedom to LIVE on earth. We have but one earth, and we are facing self destruction if we do not change our way of living. We have the power, working together, worldwide, to make the changes happen.

We stand together worldwide, our voices being heard as one, declaring an international day of independence! Independence from tyranny, destruction, greed, misrepresentation of facts, and oppression. Independence from hate, bigotry, anger and war.

Destruction, devastation, natural beauty worldwide is disappearing at alarming rates ~ this we must all continue to act together to put an end to the greed and destroying the only place we have to call home... earth. We must build a sustainable future NOW. We must act to preserve the life of the Earth NOW or there will be no tomorrow. We're out of time; the time to care, the time to act, the time to make a difference is NOW.

"Only after the Last Tree has been cut down,
Only after the last River has been poisoned,
Only after the Last Fish has been caught,
Only then will they find that Money Cannot be Eaten."
~ Native Proverb
We must care for the earth; the plants and trees, the animals, birds, fish, reptiles and insects, if the human race is to survive.  Some of the comments as shared by our Care2 friends:

    "...Let's make it an independence of all things bad for our Earth."

    "Yes, lets declare our Independence from the stranglehold of the path to destruction and start upon a path of a sustainable way of living in harmony with all the life forces upon this Earth, our Mother to all."

    "Independence Day for the earth and animals should be everyday..all this money for sports, politicians, Big Corporations, special interests groups, OIL, should all be spent to help mother earth."

    "Forest are the lungs of the planet and we as a specie on this earth cannot afford to cut one more tree down..."

    "It is the height of human insanity to destroy this precious ecosystem and all the life it sustains (including our own ultimately) in the name of profit for agribusiness!"

    "ALL PEOPLE have it in their power to make the necessary changes needed and take matters into their own hands and really make a difference."

    "Forests are holding the essence of life. Deforestation is a crime not only against humanity, but against all life on earth."

    "People need to learn to love and respect nature. Simple as that."

Today we declare everyday as Independence Day for Earth and all life she sustains.

We are all interdependent upon one another, the circle of life. Everything that every person does, has an impact great or small, on the survival of all life.

With knowledge, we are strong; with wisdom we can make the changes for the future; uniting in action, sharing the information with others, we grow stronger.

"Seek wisdom, not knowledge. Knowledge is of the past, Wisdom is of the future."
