10 Million Clicks for Peace

Published by webmistress under Peace

clicks for peace

If you’ve ever wished you could do something about all the violence in the world but thought you were powerless, I just found something you’ve got to see.

Before you start thinking, “Oh yeah, another ‘peacenik’ site,” let me tell you, this is VERY different. Notable people like Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Arun Gandhi (that’s right, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi), Jack Canfield, founder of Chicken Soup for the Soul books, Deepak Chopra, and many celebrities and sports legends are behind this project.

Something’s definitely up! I think people are saying enough’s enough and I’m one of them…so I just joined. http://www.tenmillionclicksforpeace.org

What’s really neat about this is that they’ve made it fun and easy. Anyone can help with just a few clicks of their mouse. And it all makes sense. We don’t need to wait for international negotiations. We can create peace ourselves–right now–using the power of the Internet.

They’re giving away this amazing tool, called a “Personal Peace Impact Meter.” It shows you the positive difference you’re making, along with simple steps to create more peace. I followed the steps, and my peace impact showed up instantly! (They should make video games like this.)

The awesome part about this meter is that it also shows all the positive effects of the people I tell, and the people they tell, and so on. Soon thousands of people will be taking positive steps towards greater world peace, all because of a few simple steps I took. Amazing!

After seeing what’s been happening with international politics, I’m really glad I can finally do something to help create a more positive future myself.

By the way, these guys also give you what’s got to be the world’s largest personal growth and success course (at no cost or obligation). World-famous speakers and best-selling authors are working with them to make global peace a reality. Their idea makes sense… teach people all over the world how to become more personally peaceful, happier, and more successful, and violence will simply disappear, because countries filled with happy, peaceful people simply don’t start wars or participate in violence.

I can’t believe they figured all this stuff out and got so many people to help in just a year. What a great use of the Internet!

This is why I’m so excited: http://www.tenmillionclicksforpeace.org

The Origins of Earth Day

Published by webmistress under Awareness, Environment

Author: EcoSMART

Every April there’s one day when we all try to come together for a greater good. No, it’s not Tax Day — it’s Earth Day on April 22nd. While most people know about Earth Day and its environmental significance, few of us know how Earth Day got started!

In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, there was growing concern over the state of the environment. Most notably seen across college campuses and grassroots organizations, this environmental focus also grew in importance within the political sphere. In 1969, Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson suggested a demonstration to help gain attention for environmental causes. A year later on April 22nd, the first official Earth Day was held with over 20 million people participating — a giant step for the modern environmental movement!

Since the inception of Earth Day, the holiday has become an international effort to improve environmental sustainability from air quality and global warming to wildlife protection and recycling efforts. In 1992, the United Nations recognized the growing need to maintain environmental health with an Earth Summit in Rio de Jainero.
