The Role of The People
We believe that God gave us a world of abundance and that all people can have all that they need, and more. We believe that all of us (individually and collectively) can shape our future.
“Mother Nature can supply human need, but not human greed.” [M. Ghandi]
For ideas about we might adjust some of our daily practices, please see Why Change? We can make a big difference in how we make the most of the earth, water, sun and wind resources that we have been given. People really have two major roles in this:
- Reducing our waste of energy, water, materials, food and transportation.
- Improving the availability of sustainable sources of energy, water, materials, food and transportation.
“There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.” [Mother Teresa]
Everyone can learn enough of the facts to be able to make fact-based decisions. We believe that people who know the facts and choose to make a change have the right and responsibility to work with government, churches, business and other organizations to do the right thing. We believe that these same people should support, participate in and lead efforts to make the changes needed. Count us in.
