We need to MORE responsible than the third world

A woman on the upper east side of New York or in Malibu … has a child. That child will have between eight hundred and a thousand times more negative impact on the environment of the Earth than a child born to a woman in Bangledesh. Where do we preach birth control? Bangledesh. (Terrance McKenna).

In the days to come we need to be compassionate to all with understanding.  We also need to be aware of the facts at hand.

More than understanding and intention: we need action- from all of us, that includes you and me. I'm up for the challenge.

Re: We need to MORE responsible than the third world

That's so right, Happi Ness!
As in the Peace March tomorrow, we all need to become responsible, committed, and active!
We, as the privilaged nations, need to lead!
We need to first curtail our own destructive habits, including breeding babies the world does not need and adopting the ones who will not have life otherwise or at least to work toward a better tomorrow - or ANY tomorrow for all!
The lesser-developed nations so far have no adequate birth control and no choices in life.
We have many choices, and can choose to make sure we do not become pregnant which is the best gift we could possibly give the world!

Then, with the energy and resouces we save, we can become active and save the world!

We can share.

We can create new ways to deal with old problems - as long as we first understand that human population is the major destructive force on the planet!

Let's all get active today in finding ways we can personally contribute to save the world!
