WE ARE ONE
Our focus for the future of our civilization should begin with living with a purpose of gratitude and awareness and accepting we are all of one race—the human race. We all have one home—the earth—and what we do with our talents, interests, and occupations does make a difference. Taking responsibility for our actions that affect our environments and our bodies is a must and a well-founded stewardship. We are more the same than different even though our skin tones are different, our religions vary, and we live on different parts of the earth.We have four resources, the earth, the ocean, the sky and each other.

Energy use in the U.S. is the highest in the world.
Energy conservation requires the least effort--shopping locally, driving less, consuming less, eating less and buying less. We must change ourselves by changing our habits, turning off the lights, using less electricity and conserving energy and eliminating the use of toxic chemicals in our homes. Share your values, and your knowledge and experiences with your employers, your churches, your educators, your communities and your politicians.
There is hope and knowledge is responsibility. We are all part of what is happening to the world. Making the world a better place today than yesterday and becoming better shepherds of our environment and world communities will be quite a victory for humanity.
