was other things, now about helping protect animals/environment

[Guest guest]

Thanks, KF. I just plugged myself into savebiogems.org and look

forward to contributing. Hope others are doing the same, since our

strength comes from our collective action.

Its nothing new Erica,

 

I used to be on an Eckart Tolle list and sometimes would

post little stories of my encounters in nature (with wild

animals). The stories were really well loved by many. At

some point in time I discovered NRDC and their BIOGEMS

movement and d. It is a way to become involved in

lobbying to save environments and particularly the species

that live there. It was real real easy, when an issue

arose, Biogems would email me and I could automatically

send an email to congress protesting over the next idiotic

Bush proposal for wilderness/habitat destruction. They

would also send mails announcing their success or failure

of this lobbying. From what I could observe, they actually

do make a difference. The problem for me though, is that I

do not have a congressman cos I live in England! But do you

think I could get one member of that spiritual group who so

professed their love of nature to join? NO! (well, actually

yes, one did join). Its like de Mello says, people want

relief not a cure, a cure is painful and they want relief

from the pain they have now.

 

So if you or anyone else is interested in North American

wilderness and habitat protection the link is below;

there is also a link to the NRDC site itself on the above

page, just click on the NRDC logo.
