Not only is her living body hurt by atomic testings, her rivers, seas and air is contaminated, her lungs are burned, and the beauty of her creation is manipulated and artificially changed by geneting engineering. But this lovely, beautiful living and conscious being still accepts out of Love for her Creator all her children, all Its children with infinite love stretching her limited capacity. Stretching her limited capacity as far as she can, crying for help and understanding that she has reached her limit, reached her Limit.

She is born out of Love to give, to give and only to give so much is her Love, showing her beauty wherever she can, showing the beauty of creation, expressing her infinite gratitude to Her Creator, expressing the infinite Love and Beauty of Her Creator, our Creator, our Only Source of Being; our Father/Mother God. And we.....................?

Realities for the 90's

Many of us are concerned about the grave social and environmental problems we face at the global level, yet few of us know what to do about them. Fortunately there is a growing awareness of solutions to these problems- a new perspective based on understanding the interconnectedness of all things. When the unseen impacts of small, every day decisions are viewed in a larger context where their global implications can be recognized, we begin to realize that both the root of our problems and the ability to solve them lies within each of us.

The fundamental shift When we apply this perspective to the simple act of eating, we find that there are far reaching effects to the fundamental shift among western nations during this century from a diet based on plant foods to one based on animal foods. For example, in 1985 North Americans were consuming half the grains and potatoes they did at the turn of the century, 33% more dairy products, 50% more beef, and 280% more poultry. This shift resulted in a diet with one-third more fat, one-fifth less carbohydrated, and levels of protein consumption far exceeding official recommendations. (1)

Degradation of global ecosystems The increased demand for animal products has resulted in a vast reallocation of resources, has promoted the degradation of global ecosystems and has disrupted and displaced indigenous cultures worldwide. The impact on human health has been equally devasting. Tracing these problems back to their root in our personal dietary habit-our demand for meat, poultry and dairy products-we can begin to see that by changing our diets we can play an important role in helping to heal the Earth and creating a sustainable world for our children.
