Global Warming - to U.N. for Global Green Fund ($120 B/y) to save life on Earth

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

The time is NOW.

What a wonderful world it could be. We urge you to intiate and grow the Global Green Fund for sake of life on Earth.

Please start doing something. There needs to be more awareness and activity from the government, on both the local and national level. Mandatory recycling, no more plastic bags, minimal packaging methods, water restrictions-it's not that hard to establish.

Stop wasting time and money. Our behaviour is not sustainable and we will be extremely sorry when the consequences of our actions are flown in our faces. Future generations do not deserve to bear the burden of our ignorance!

All the money we make won't matter at all when we're dying...

I think that we only have a few years to turn this reality around. Please act fast to make this change happen.

Our future depends on slowing global warming. I am very sad to see the devastation in Myanmar this weekend. It is a sing of our changing climate, with more to come. For the sake of ourselves, and future generations please put funding towards this global crisis.

What is the point of living when we have destroyed the earth - we must invest now for the future or we will have no future.

As a very committed activist and long time environmentalist, with over 5570 friends on my non profit's myspace site, am continually amazed that so little is being done to save our planet, i observe businesses getting richer with greenwashing, but shocking little but lip service from those who can really make a difference! Yet i see and speak to real people everyday, who are really concerned, young people who are worried about their future and that of the planet, when will governments get serious instead of just giving lip service to saving our planet? Please act to change this! Reverend, Nan Sea Love

120 billion dollars would be, at very least, a beginning. We are all (and I mean all living beings) in this together. Unfortunately, only humankind can do something about the predicament that the Earth now must deal with. It is no longer a question of saving the members of some developing nation. It is now a matter of saving everyone (again I mean all beings).
# 558:
# 557:
This issue is no longer a myth, more like it never was...its about time we took action, dont let our children suffer the consequences.
# 556:
Global warming is a major issue, not a minor one. We need to take action ASAP if we wish to reverse this.
