Extractions: Just Earth > Earth Day 2004 This Earth Day, April 22, 2004, Amnesty needs your help in organizing events around a national day of action to address human rights abuses linked to fossil fuel extraction projects in Indonesia and Ecuador. The newly merged Business, Environment, and Human Rights Program invites your group to organize teach-ins, public information tables, and other actions to educate the public and generate letters in support of environmental defenders and communities at risk in Indonesia and Ecuador. This page includes a short action guide with materials to promote your event. The situations in Indonesia and Ecuador are symptomatic of the dilemmas created when large multinational oil companies do business in politically unstable regions and under the protection of ill-trained and unaccountable armies that have little or no respect for human rights. For over four decades, Indigenous communities have witnessed multinational oil companies cutting through the Ecuadorian Amazon, leaving dead rivers, road-scarred forests, polluted air, and daily discharges of millions of gallons of toxic waste in their wake. In order to fill a new oil pipeline, Ecuador will have to double its current oil production, setting off an unprecedented boom in new oil exploration and production, a boom which faces opposition from many communities which will be affected. Traditionally, the Ecuadorian military providing security for oil installations has taken orders directly from the companies and restricted access of campesinos and Indigenous peoples to their own lands. These activities have sparked outrage and protest across the country, yet the concerns of thousands of affected people have been met with repression.
AIUSA: Just Earth: Earth Day 2000 Newsletter Sierra Club and Amnesty members are holding teachins and speak-outs to raise public awareness and generate action to defend those that give the earth a voice http://www.amnestyusa.org/justearth/newsletter/
Extractions: Message from the Director Justice is the core issue The world is in crises at so many levels. Many communities are struggling against the worldwide impact of economic globalization, environmental destruction, and the weakening of governments and political leadership. The indigenous, the poorest, the least well organized and powerful of society are most often the ones that pay the heaviest price for rapid economic change. Non-sustainable development projects and the depletion of the earth's resources often occur in countries where governments are repressive and corrupt, making communities and their leadership that try to resist the destruction extremely vulnerable to government and corporate oppression. Participants in the NE Regional Activist Training The Just Earth! Network was established for interested individuals and groups to take action on critical issues and campaigns that link human rights and environmental concerns. The response has been overwhelming. In just four months, since the launch of the program, we have had over 1000 individuals and groups join our Network. Similarly, Amnesty International USA's current campaign with the Sierra Club, sponsored by the Goldman Fund, to protect the rights of environmental defenders worldwide has brought together activists from these two organizations to mobilize action on behalf of environmentalists and communities at risk in Mexico, Russia, Burma, Chad and Cameroon. All around the US, in Minneapolis, Austin, Fairbanks, Denver and Boston, Sierra Club and Amnesty members are holding teach-ins and speak-outs to raise public awareness and generate action to 'defend those that give the earth a voice'.

Parents, relatives and friends walk the halls, examining the work like art patrons, deciding which priceless treasures to add to their collection. This year, we acquired a battery-operated candle decoupaged with tissue paper, a Japanese lantern adorned with ribbon, a drum made from paper plates and beads, among other items. Our young artist not only helped raise money for her school, but also developed her creativity and fine-motor skills all while transforming junk into beautiful art. Many of the projects for Art Day used materials brought from families' homes.
Science Classes Should Not Teach Creationism 1 says that on the second day God created God periodically allows to fall to earth as rain. Obviously, to teach biblical creationism would require schools to http://www.humanismbyjoe.com/Science_Classes_and_Creationism.htm
Extractions: Science Classes Should Not Teach Creationism A bill introduced in the Ohio General Assembly would require public schools to teach competing "theories" about the origin of life when evolution is taught. Critics of the bill recognize that it is a thinly veiled attempt to interject biblical creationism into science classes. Passage of this bill could make Ohio a national laughingstock. The state would likely be depicted on late-night talk shows and elsewhere as a scientifically ignorant and narrow-minded backwater. Moreover, the economic repercussions on the state could be severe. Corporations are unlikely to locate or expand in places where workers lack the knowledge necessary to understand modern science and technology. An examination of the biblical creation accounts shows that they do not belong in science classrooms. Contradictions A basic requirement for scientific theories is that they must be consistent in order to have validity. That is not met by the biblical creation stories. The Bible contains two creation tales, which scribes had attempted to combine into a single story. The first account runs from the beginning of Genesis chapter 1 through the third verse of chapter 2, and the second account starts at the fourth verse of chapter 2. Due to the two separate traditions used in compiling the biblical story, it contains contradictions.

Extractions: WPN CELEBRATES EARTH DAY WITH GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT The abundance of North American forests was top of mind for many Americans this morning, as WPN partners Dr. Patrick Moore and Chuck Leavell shared their positive Earth Day messages with television, radio and print media across the country. PATRICK MOORE REACHES MILLIONS OF TELEVISION VIEWERS LIVE FROM CENTRAL PARK Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace informs millions of television viewers about the positive benefits to the earth by using wood to build homes. Moore kicked off the celebration with a satellite media tour live from New York's Central Park-one of America's largest urban forests. "We've made tremendous progress in the last 35 years," he said. "We now have cleaner air and water, and-contrary to popular opinion-our forests are abundant and growing. In fact, there's about the same area of forest in the U.S. today as there was 100 years ago, and the volume of trees has grown 20 percent since the first Earth Day was observed in 1970." Between 6 and 9 a.m., Moore spoke live via satellite to 20 television stations, reaching millions of viewers in key markets such as Denver, Houston, Buffalo, San Diego, New York and Phoenix. "Earth Day was created to remind us of the impact that our choices have on the environment-both negative and positive. We can be proud of the choices we've made in the last 35 years."

Could Animals Teach Us How To Appreciate The Earth? an animal had anything of spiritual value to teach him beauty and abundance that nature offers us every day. those who conserve and protect the earth, they call http://www.angelanimals.net/article004.html
Extractions: Could Animals Teach Us How to Appreciate the Earth? by Allen and Linda Anderson During a radio interview we did a few months ago, the host asked if listeners were learning spiritual lessons from animals. One young man called in and said he loved his dog, but didn't think she was teaching him anything spiritual. He thought he could only get spiritual insight from the one source that illuminated his religious beliefs. How could a dog ever demonstrate a spiritual principle? Then the host asked him if he thought he'd learned anything by sharing his home with this animal. The man said he was looking at the dog, resting comfortably on his couch, as she patiently waited for him to take her for a walk. He said as much as this dog loved her walks, no matter how busy he became doing graphics out of his home office, the dog never pestered him. He said he often wished he could be as patient as she is. We smiled, listening to this man describe a spiritual qualitypatiencewhile denying that an animal had anything of spiritual value to teach him. He was demonstrating something that we've seen in the hundreds of stories we've collected from around the world and which we share in our newsletter, book, interviews, and workshops. Repeatedly, people who are willing to put the human ego aside, tell us how animals show from their heartsnot through animal instinct, behavior or trainingunconditional love, compassion, forgiveness, and joy. If we want to understand how to appreciate Mother Earth, respecting all life and treasuring gifts from the Creator to creation, we have to look no further than our furry, flying, flowing, and feathered friends. Animals offer us some of the most enduring and endearing examples of gratitude. And if we're grateful, we'll do everything possible to preserve the beauty and abundance that nature offers us every day.

As part of our community outreach for the Hawai'i Coral Reef Project, the USGS participated in the Earth Day Festivities on the island of Moloka'I on April 20th. The festival was sponsored by The Nature Conservancy of Hawai'i and included booths and displays, food and games, live music, and door prizes. Local radio celebrities emceed the event and kept the fun rolling. Susie Cochran (USGS Pacific Science Center, Santa Cruz) and Ceil Roberts (University of Hawai'i, Institute of Marine Biology, Coconut Island, HI) hosted the USGS booth and tables, focusing on telling the community about the USGS Hawai'i Coral Reef project. In addition to posters and information, our booth displayed underwater video footage from recent dive surveys, a computerized slide show, and 3-D aerial photographs and SHOALS lidar images. We also had a board game for the keikis (kids) to help teach them how their actions can affect coral reefs.

Every month, I will answer your questions on how to bring environmental studies into the classroom, how to deepen our environmental awareness and how to live more "green". I'll suggest seasonal activities that can help our children get closer to nature and give suggestions on how to encourage them to be loving caretakers of our great planet earth. I want to encourage our children (and ourselves) to fall in love with nature. When you love something, you will take care of it. I look forward to hearing from teachers and parents about environmental projects that you've done that have been successful.
