A Buddhist Declaration on Climate Change

This was forwarded to me by a few Venerable teachers and Dharma Friends. As we are all aware, the increasing burden we humans are placing on the planet will begin to manifest in very harmful ways. This declaration, composed by Bhikkuh Bodhi, David Loy, and British microbiologist John Stanley, serves as an acknowledge of the harm that climate change represents as well as an affirmation to commit ourselves to help live in a more harmonious way on the Earth. Our individual actions may seem very small when measured against the task we face but let us not forget that the great oceans are themselves are but many small drops of water.

Please pass this along to all this who might be intersted.

With Joined Palms,
Rob
