INTRODUCTION
WE HAVE ONLY ONE EARTH
WE HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE
We want to create a world in harmony with nature. We want to create a world of social justice where people live in peace.
There must be a cease fire in Gaza. There must be far greater efforts to stop today's global arms race. World military spending today is at its highest level in history and rising.
Our world cannot continue in its current form. Our leaders are presiding over the greatest destruction of the biological foundations of life seen in history. And scientists around the world are in near unanimous agreement that human beings are causing a sixth major mass extinction. This doesn't just have ramifications for the natural world, but the most dire implications for humanity itself.
Meanwhile, impossible financial debts are being run up by the world's largest economy, America. Trillion dollar budget deficits extend as far as the eye can see. Hundreds of billions are being lost every year by an economy that cannot compete in world markets. America used to be the world's largest creditor. Today, net public and private international debt is near twenty four trillion dollars.
Change is coming no matter what our leaders do. It is very simple. Today's trends are going to end because they cannot continue.
The key question facing the world is whether change takes place in an orderly non-violent manner or comes as a result of an ecological and financial collapse. Such events will likely produce a death toll in the billions.
Thus, political action is vital. That is why we have created Earth Future Action.
Our planet needs to stop borrowing from the future. We need to start building for the future.
We support in America basic tenets of social justice and common sense such as the right of health care for all.
We oppose the current global escalation of military spending and imperial plans by America.
A list of some of our priorities is on our reports page.
These changes require a centralized government and international cooperation.
We're not promising to have all the answers. But we believe some of our ideas are a good place to start.
