Earth Day 1999
From Earth Day Founder John
McConnell www.earthsite.org
Internet is a Tower of Babel – reflecting the chaos and
confusion in civilization. Let’s convert it into a
pillar of light – a Lighthouse for the new millennium. Earth Day 1999
will be Saturday, March 20 on one side of the planet and Sunday,
March 21 on the other side of the planet -- nature’s special
day of equipoise when night and day are equal all over the world.
You can help circle the globe on Earth Day with the message that
will foster peace, appeal to the most people and do the most good
for people and planet:
"Let every person and institution now think and act as a
Trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and
ethics that will provide a sustainable future."
This Earth Trustee agenda appeals to people of every creed
and culture. The grass roots spread of the idea can
change world public opinion from Earth Kill to Earth Care and
provide positive results: positive thinking, positive
prayers and positive Earth Trustee actions.
The corrupt use of power by governments, corporations -- and
especially mass media, can now be eliminated by individual Earth
Trustee actions in a moral equivalent of World War II.
The key to success is effective use of Internet to spread
participation. Then all together each year, we can
confirm commitment as we join on the March Equinox in celebration
of Earth Day. This day can also bring headlines globally of
Earth Trustee efforts and solutions that are working.
Earth Day 1998 was celebrated in the Mir Space Station at the
moment of Equinox when the Peace Bell was rung at the United
Nations (2:55 p.m. EST, Friday March 20, 1998). Around this
special moment of nature's equipoise, with live bell ringing on
Internet, is the ideal time for silent prayer and heartfelt
commitment to think and act as an Earth Trustee. Then you
will see better what to do in the days that follow.
Celebrate Earth Day Equinox on March 20, 1999 at 8:46 p.m.
EST in New York (Sunday, March 21 in Europe and Asia at
0146 GMT). This simultaneous global event can bring us
together as one human family. Then make every day an
Earth Trustee Day.
