Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n3 Lessons learned long ago
\nlay hidden in the land.
\nSkills and soundness acquired by ancestors
\nteachings humankind could benefit from:
\nhow to live healthy and in harmony
\nwith sun and moon, with time and tide.<\/p>\n
4 Awareness awakes in the well,
\nand by whirling waters
\nflows into all directions.<\/p>\n
5 Balance and honesty rise
\nalong the roots of mighty trees,
\nentrust through buds into the breeze.
\nThe winds of change moves us,
\nfurther and forth into we-societies<\/p>\n
6 Fuel and feed contributions
\nfrom concerned citizens,
\njoining benevolent forces.<\/p>\n
7 Fuel and feed every voice
\nand every movement
\ncaring for the earth, the living land.<\/p>\n
8 To speak with Mahatma Gandhi words:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe world has enough for everyone’s need,
\nbut not enough for everyone’s greed.\u201d<\/p>\n
1 We honour our earth mother and stand in solidarity with all who hold sacred:<\/p>\n
2 Flowery meadows, verdant forests,
\nflourishing wetlands, fresh and fertile waters.
\n3 All ways of life that honour and value the earth,
\nplants, animals and people over profit.<\/p>\n
4 Free and safe drinking water as a right for all living beings.
\nClean soil, clean air and clean water.
\nGrowing back trees and forests.
\nConscious consuming, recycle and replant.<\/p>\n
5 Human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
\nThe right for each individual to decide for him or herself.
\nFree natural and traditional cures.<\/p>\n
6 \u201cThe theme for Earth Day 2020 is climate action. The enormous challenge \u2014 but also the vast opportunities \u2014 of action on climate change have distinguished the issue as the most pressing topic for the 50th anniversary.<\/p>\n
Climate change represents the biggest challenge to the future of humanity and the life-support systems that make our world habitable.\u201d<\/p>\n
7 Many see the earth herself as a living entity, a conscious being. We know the effect of our lifestyle and what this further will cause, global warming and mass extinction, if we allow the present toxic system to continue to spread it\u2019s venom.<\/p>\n
8 Greta Thunberg said: \u201cIf one virus can wipe out the entire economy in a matter of weeks and shut down societies, then that is a proof that our societies are not very resilient. It also shows that once we are in an emergency, we can act and we can change our behaviour quickly.\u201dWe need to change our behaviour and choose a lifestyle with respect for our planet.<\/p>\n
1 We all have our responsibility and we all have to be aware of our footprint. At the same time: never must we forget who\u2019s footprints cause the most pollution. Continuously we have to hold governments and big polluters responsible and keep putting pressure on them in non-violent ways to take the proper action. The COVID-19 crisis shows how swift governments could make changes once forced and climate change is an emergency.<\/p>\n
2 All mothers of the earth, all earth mothers: help us to hear our own heart, to hear the heartbeat of our planet and to listen to her voice. She speaks in many tongues and in many ways directly to our souls and mind. The minds of scientists who tell the truth, to all people who see humankind as part of our planet\u2019s ecosystem in which there is respect and place for all living things.<\/p>\n
3 Be creative, be courageous, be resilient!<\/p>\n
4 Rise up for mother earth!<\/p>\n
5 Rise up for climate justice!<\/p>\n
6 Rice up for social justice!<\/p>\n
7 Planet over profit!<\/p>\n
All<\/strong>: Planet over profit!<\/p>\n8 Power to the people!<\/p>\n
All<\/strong>: Power to the people!<\/p>\nClosing<\/strong><\/p>\n1 May our thoughts and deeds
\nbe a loving contribution
\nfor all living beings.<\/p>\n
2 May our thoughts and deeds
\nbe a loving contribution
\nto generations yet to come.<\/p>\n
3 Come, those who want to come.
\nFare, those who want to fare.
\nStay, those who want to stay.<\/p>\n
