My 5: Earle Canfield, Founder, ANSWER

BPGL: What are the five most important things we can do to save the planet?

Earle Canfield, founder of American-Nepali Student and Women

EARLE CANFIELD:

• Total disarmament. Dismantle all war industries and limit armies to simply police forces. This is one of the most wasteful uses of our time, money, and effort.

• Global education about the importance of observing the natural cycles.

• Reforestation and strict laws and zoning to maintain the forests.

• Conversion to renewable and carbon-free energy generation (until nuclear wastes are neither recyclable nor non-war related; e.g., breeder reactors are not acceptable alternatives for the latter reason).
  • As a corollary, this can best be achieved on a home-by-home construct: fuel cells and windmills in every yard or on every roof.
  • As a second corollary, this includes energy of all forms of transportation.

• Learning mutual respect through our common humanity and “spiritual” connection… That’s the hardest.
