To Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations
Dear Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon,
On April 9, 2008, the Global Conference on Oceans, Coasts and Islands was featured in a newspaper article titled "Oceans warming 4 times faster than predicted", which concluded with: More money must be spent on protecting international waters," and we would add, "the atmosphere, the Arctic and Antarctic, the Amazon rainforest, the Boreal forest, African wildlife, biodiversity, in fact, the entire biosphere itself."
World experts have determined that a Global Green Fund for healing our planet Earth of $120 billion per annum is the bare bone minimum.
Almost shockingly, in this hour of critical planetary need, such a Global Green Fund DOES NOT EVEN EXIST. In contrast, the Global Military Expenditure towers $1.2 trillion per annum, and to what good end?
A mere 10% of it would make the $120 billion Global Green Fund.
As a nature-revering, peace-loving and deeply concerned planetary citizen, in view of the current global environmental crisis in climate change, habitat destruction and species extermination, I am writing to participate with other planetary citizens worldwide in presenting the following proposal: As overseen by the United Nations, all member nations shall contribute ten percent (10%) of their military budgets, totaling $120 billion per annum approximately, to a U.N.-administered Global Green Fund dedicated to solving the environmental problems of the planet Earth.
Nations may contribute by means of environmental work performed by their military forces (e.g. by using the army for anti-poaching and habitat protection, and the navy for enforcing international laws on the high seas) in lieu of financial contributions.
By this method, there will be no relative loss of military strength for any nation, the world will be 10% safer, and Planet Earth will be 100% greener, and our children's future will be infinitely brighter.
Where the United Nations is concerned, it will finally have a real budget with the real means to heal our planet Earth.
We ask you to please use your influence to facilitate the creation of this Global Green Fund, for saving life on Earth from mass extinction due to global warming and habitat destruction.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours Sincerely,
Anthony Marr, founder and president Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE) 4118 West 11th Ave., Vancouver, British Columbia Canada V6R 2L6 http://www.hope-care.org/ Anthony-Marr@HOPE-CARE.org 1-604-222-1169

As the atmosphere warms up it contains more energy (naturally). This means more activity - more storms, more floods, more fires and additionally, more life. We had better start adapting to it fast rather than standing like King Kanute on the beach commanding the tide to go back so please help your self and start acting form today.

we are not separate entities of the planet earth and it is our human duty to have the noble courage to defeat our greed for more more more and teach ourselves and others to live in harmony with all of Earths organic life and inorganic matter.

It's unjust if those who contributed least to the problem suffer the most... the least we can do is try to rectify the situation as much as we can!

"Money is not power and Education is not power but information is Power and if I give you bad information you've got bad power!"
For the record i don't know who said this, but that's not really important. Its the truth behind those words that can make a difference.
Think about that and let it sink in........
