Most doctors are aware of the adverse impact
on human health that a polluted and degraded
natural environment has. Additionally much of
current big business is polluting, destroying
finite resources that belong to humanity for
eternity, and selling us unnecessary goods.
Add to this, warfare, organised crime, inequities,
global warming, depleted resources and dramatic
weather and climate events and we end up with
a planet that according to all reputable scientists
has lost the ability to support life as we know
it.
As we are past the 'tipping point' we are told
there is no longer any hope for us whatsoever.
That is of course, unless we start to actively
repair the planet, which has to be the aim of
all thinking people globally.
A global group of concerned citizens, have
started a global campaign to restore the ownership
of the planet back to the people of the world
and to demand a world where all people are treated
equitably and given equal opportunity. Most
importantly however all affairs of mankind need
to be sustainable.
Doctors in the Middle East have been most supportive
of this project and have joined the global "Save
the Planet" team. We also have alliances
with Climate Change groups from Middle East
countries. We simply ask all doctors of the
Middle East to support our project by clicking
on the following URL, and all are invited to
register as a supporter. (See www.planetarysurvival.net)
