THE TABLET

THIS TABLET NEEDS A REWRITE. MORE POETIC PLEASE. THEN IT NEEDS TO BE REITERATED EVERY WEEK. THE ECO-ORGANIZATIONS, LIKE OCEANA AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO'S GROUP COULD JOIN IN ESTABLISHING A PROTOTYPE CITY NEWSPAPER SUPPORTED INITIALLY BY SPONSORHIP ADS FROM THESE ECO-ORGANIZATIONS.

UNLESS THE MESSAGE IS REPEATED WITH SOME VARIATION, IT WON'T MAKE THE NECESSARY IMPACT. IT HAS TO GET IN TO THE MAILBOXES. 

As a free willed and intelligent species we need to  acknowledge the impact of our activities on the health of our planet and its sustainability as supportive of human existence.

Look no further than the establishment to find culpability.  Disengage from immoral institutions starting with your bank.
PURPORT: Banks are corporations. Legally, corporations are considered “individuals.” By their impersonal and greedily collusive conduct, they qualify as individuals. Psychopathic individuals. 

Suspend trawling and all forms of industrialized fishing. 

PURPORT: Just because advances have been made in mass harvesting techniques doesn’t make them good advances. Empowering boat owners to rape the seas is not forethoughtful management of the fish stock. Certain breeds of fish are nearing extinction, to wit the east coast cod.

WE MUST END:
*clear cutting and other destructive forms of deforestation; fracking which destablizes the water table, wasting the water; and modernize factories and manufacturing plants and situate them away from rivers and oceans. 
PURPORT: Foresters, manufacturers and factory owners now have the option to implement new design and functioning methodologies which would not so severely devastate the environment.

*the use of plastics starting with shopping bags.

PURPORT: Residue of plastics are choking the seas and require immediate removal. Use the same biodegradable  grocery bag when shopping.  

*all industrial activity which pollutes the air or negatively affects the ozone;  then turn off the city lights so the wonder of our neighbouring galaxies can be witnessed world over.

*sport hunting and trade in ivory and anything else which would threaten the existence of a species.

PURPORT: Trade trophy hunting for trophy photography. Same thrill minus the bloodlust. Owning ivory products should be a matter of shame, not pride. Education is required of the Chinese masses.

Disarm civilians and reduce the arming of police to eliminate the use of  lethal force. PURPORT: If a civilian wants to enjoy the handling of guns and rifles, let him go to a gun range. There are many alternatives to subdue an attacker or violent person which don’t involve the use of lethal force. Killing a pencil-wielder is supporting bloodlust and is not a sign of an enlightened civilization. 

Destroy the poppy fields of Afghanistan replacing the crops with viable alternatives: rice, melon and beans etc. PURPORT: The poppy fields of Afghanistan represent the supply source of 90% of hard drugs.

Redistribute obscene private wealth to offer financial relief to those affected by these reforms. And then: heal the wealth addicted.

PURPORT: The wealthy will finally find relief and joy in doing something meaningful with their money.
