AN EDUCATIONAL WAY TO HONOR PLANET EARTH THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Earth Day Learning for the Therapy, Healing, and Education Community.
Useful all year long as a profound gift for Earth Day, Mothers Day, Valentines Day, Christmas and many other special occasions.
Introduction:
April, 2004: Studies by UN scientiists show levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have jumped abruptly, raising fears that global warming may be accelerating out of control. Global warming may be the biggest long-term threat to life on Earth. Rising temperatures can drive thousands of species to extinction, trigger more frequent floods or droughts, and sink low-lying islands by raising sea levels.
A point source that causes global warming is the nature-desensitization of contempory thinking. Global warming is not normal to the natural systems that flow through people and Earth.
April, 2004: Marine "dead zones" are on the increase posing as sinister a development as any in the list of things going wrong with the planet. These oxygen-starved areas of the oceans are devoid of fish and are one of the greatest environmental problems facing the world, warn UN scientists.
A point source that causes marine dead zones is the nature-desensitization of contempory thinking. Marine dead zones are not normal to the natural systems that flow through people and Earth.
U. S. Surgeon General Mental Health Report, 2000: Data developed by the massive Global Burden of Disease study conducted by the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and Harvard University, reveals that mental illness* ranks second in the burden of disease in established market economies such as the United States.
A point source that causes mental illness disorders is the nature-desensitization of contempory thinking. Mental illness disorders are not normal to the natural systems that flow through people and Earth.
