Each of earth's inhabitants has been charged with the mission of caring for and maintaining what could be called Spaceship Earth. This IS the MotherShip. We are on a one-way ride with no way off of this planet. Earth is designed to care for us and provide us with food, water, fresh air, clothing and shelter. The earth is indeed our Mother in this regard, but there are limits to this system. Our survival as a species necessitates the evolvement of our parasitical ideas and practices.

The definition of a parasite is: an organism that feeds off of its host without contributing anything to that host. The bad news is that humans fit that description. The good news is that we were created with the ability to evolve. Beginning with our awareness, we can progress from a species that merely consumes the earth to one that maintains a healthy environment through mutual reciprocity.

Our responsibility to the gift of life and to the generations that follow is to ensure a sustainable future by caring for the Mother that cares of us.

I think that many people feel that there isn't much that one person can do, so they do nothing. But can we afford to stick our heads in the sand and wait for someone else to handle the problem for us?

With the government pandering to special interest groups, don't you think it's time that earth became a special interest? It is time to hold our government and the agencies in its charge, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, accountable. It is time they do the job that they were elected to and promised to uphold.

How can you help?

* By speaking up for the Mother who cannot speak for herself.
* You can also work to become a responsible consumer. By reusing and recycling, you can lessen the burden that the Mother must endure.

But nothing beats the sound of a nation's voice clamoring in the ears of its leaders...

If you say nothing, then you must accept the path and the future that is determined for you by others. Those who are too afraid or too lazy to speak up should quietly accept the birth defects, disease, cancer, mercury poisoning, extinction of species and the continual loss of the earth's natural resources that are the consequences of this complacency.

You have one life - one shot - at this journey on the MotherShip.
What will you do?
