ALERTS!!!!

“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

John F. Kennedy, July 26th, 1963

Humanity at the Crossroads

Humanity at the Crossroads

All around us, we can see evidence of abuse on nature — disappearing species, contaminated water, stripped land, wasted resources. As a result, Indigenous Elders and Medicine Peoples gathered for the first time and released a unified statement asking the global community to wake up and start investing in planetary health.
Since humans have ignored “warnings from both Nature and the People of the Earth,” the Elders express that we have driven ourselves on a path of self-destruction. “This self destructive path has led to the Fukushima nuclear crisis, Gulf oil spill, tar sands devastation, pipeline failures, impacts of carbon dioxide emissions and the destruction of ground water through hydraulic fracking.”
Please sign as a supporter of this statement.
