The age of industrialization which has encompassed the
past two hundred years must now be evaluated and
both for its significant contributions to the human race
and to the devastation it has created. If we are to
evaluate its impact, we may wish to begin with the beliefs
and values that motivated not only its development but
perpetuation.
It is time now to turn our attention to alternative life-
styles incorporating historical environmental and ecological
philosophies along with modern technology that addresses the
issue of a cleaner and safer planet. Looking within ourselves
for the inherent ability we all possess to live with the
natural cycles, seasons, plant and animal life may be a place
to begin. Awareness from a global perspective will enhance our
ability to understand this to be an issue of concern to every-
one in the world.
WE ARE ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE IN IDENTIFYING INDIGENOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
WE ARE ASKING FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN SPEAK FOR THEIR PEOPLE
IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUES NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF THE DEVASTATION
THAT IS CREATED, BUT ALTERNATIVES BEING PURSUED TO COMBAT THE
PROBLEM.
WE ARE ASKING FOR GUIDANCE IN IDENTIFYING FUNDING SOURCES THAT
MAY ENTERTAIN OUR IDEAS FOR HOSTING SUCH A CONFERENCE.
WE ARE ASKING FOR SUPPORT AND SUGGESTIONS FROM READERS OF THE
NATIVENET.
