Think Responsibly - Act Responsibly

Join the International movement for global democracy, peace and human rights:

• Because the year 2007 must be a new beginning for “people power” to be effective agents of transformation towards a more peaceful and sustainable world.

• Because a BREAKTHROUGH is urgently needed by a world wide 'people movement'; for peace and international cooperation by bringing together like - minded individuals, lending fresh impetus to projects of economic cooperation and inter cultural understanding.

• Because we need electronic parliament, linking parliamentarians world wide to provide a forum for debates on the best ways to save the common good.

• Because the civil society organizations need to link up through the internet and develop shared strategies to restore peace and revitalize war-torn regions and environments, they promote socially and ecologically responsibly policies in local and national governments and in business.

• Because local, national and global business respond to the increasingly forceful calls by governments and civic society for corporate social and ecological responsibility.

Background
"Our global village is inequitable, full of frustration and hate, and is neither economically nor ecologically sustainable. This condition cannot be prolonged indefinitely. We either achieve peace and a higher level of sustainability, or risk a global holocaust.
Half a century ago Albert Einstein noted that we cannot solve a problem with the same kind of thinking that gave rise to it. Nobel scientists now agree. A Declaration signed by one hundred Laureates at the conclusion of the Nobel Peace Prize Centennial Symposium in December of 2001 noted, “The most profound danger to world peace in the coming years will stem not from the irrational acts of states or individuals but from the legitimate demands of the world's dispossessed.”
They ended the Declaration saying, “To survive in the world we have transformed, we must learn to think in a new way.”
The urgently required local and global transformation calls for timely changes in the way we think. With new, more responsible thinking we could head towards better, more peaceful and sustainable conditions on this planet."
