To end strife, stop pandemics, build local

and global community, and to heal Earth itself, 

MEGA! promotes the development and implementation of some such global Declaration as the

following example

   

A PEOPLES DECLARATION

of

INTERDEPENDENCE 

 

We, the People - and Peoples -

of this one exquisite - exquisitely fragile – Planet,

hold these truths to be self-evident:- 

• That all persons of every race, calling, creed, colour, gender, condition and age are created equal. There are no exceptions.

• That they, collectively and individually, are endowed with certain inalienable rights. Among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

• That the fundamental sources and resources to achieve these rights: Peace without threat, fear, force or weapons; pure air; fresh water; an uncontaminated earth; nourishing food; good health; creative education; a secure home; race/gender balance; equitable justice; local and global responsibility; authentic, proportionate, participative representation; and worthwhile work - also belong inalienably to them all, for ever.

• That this inheritance - these resources truly without price - can never be taken over or away by individuals, classes, corporations and/or states for their own exclusive or majority use, exploitation, profit or control.

• Rather, that it is the marvellous gift and responsibility of every human generation to enjoy and utilize these resources with respect and delight, in interdependence with all peoples and with the whole multitude of species, both animal and plant, with which we co-inhabit this tiny, fragile, planet.

• And, within that gift, to hand them on, enhanced, to the children of our children's children.

An example of a Global INTERdependence flag.

Salute the fatherland. Salute the Motherland.

The individual nation's flag changes, the Earth image remains constant, 

symbolizing every country's common roots in Earth herself.

 

Therefore, 

We, the People and Peoples of Earth,

so battered, so beloved,

 

1. require that all our employees - the governments of the world - re-allocate at least 3% of all budgets currently devoted to the military, war, weapons development, and the arms trade to re-green the planet, and bring pure water to every single person on Earth.  Vitally, 3% not merely of money and materials but also, and especially, 3% of the creative lives and expertise of their members.

2.  And that societies, countries and individuals grown unsustainably wealthy through historical and/or ongoing exploitation of whole countries, people, peoples, and common planetary resources, pay appropriate reparations for that exploitation, and assist all those affected to adapt to the climate change caused, primarily, by that abuse. 

 

By these means we will

 

• Avert otherwise inevitable wars over water - infinitely more precious than oil. 

• Re-green the Earth - so ameliorating the worst effects of the climate crisis.

• Begin the deliberate building-down of weapons. This alone will represent a vast psychological breakthrough for humanity.

• Improve the overall well-being of Mother Earth and all her peoples - by liberating unimaginably vast quantities of resources, together with huge numbers of highly-skilled personnel for urgent medical, ecological, social, community-building economics and other tasks.

 

•  

•  

 

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

• And, finally, the wonder of a healed, balanced, cooperative, planet will at last provide a truly fitting memorial for all those who sacrificed – and who go on sacrificing even today - their lives, in all the endless wars to ‘end all war’.
