The poorest nations, the ones that are not industrialized for the most part, are the ones who are feeling its effects of global change first. For example Bolivia’s glaciers (providing 20% of the drinking water) are melting. They have lost an estimated 50% of their volumn in the last 40 years. —Read More
“When I arrived at the United Nations climate summit in Copenhagen in late last year, the first thing that struck me were environmental activists braving the freezing weather to voice their disappointment at being locked out of the largest ever international meeting on climate change. Inside the conference, I realized that Bolivia was in a position similar to that of the protesters outside. We, the representatives of the majority of the world’s peoples, were effectively being left in the cold while a tiny group dominated by a few rich governments met in private to produce an unacceptable compromise.” — President Evo Morales, Bolivia

“During the intense and wide-ranging debates at the People’s Conference, we never expected to immediately agree on a global solution, but we do have the ambition of putting forward concrete proposals that represent a fundamentally democratic, inclusive and equitable approach to addressing climate change. We invite you to be a part of this urgent, ongoing dialogue, which remains open to all peoples and all governments that co-exist on this unique and fragile planet.” — President Evo Morales, Bolivia
The Summit ended yesterday, a final declaration was made, The Cochabamba Protocols. Please go here http://envivo.cmpcc.org.bo/Final-Declaration-relies-on-wisdom to read about it. It has not been published in English as of 4/23/2010.

One of the last remaining wetlands
March 28, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
I know you are probably tired of hearing of another “Last” in danger, but here’s another Sacred Site that is being built upon. The Gabrieleno/Tongva Tribe had burial grounds that were dug up for a super high density development, Playa Vista. They are still trying to get their ancestors bones to rebury. Still asking for a place to rebury them. Playa Vista just got approved to begin their PHASE two development on Friday. Please get involved to help preserve the wetlands.
Cal-Earth … An Alternative Way To Build
October 3, 2009 by admin · 3 Comments
Creating houses out of Earth. A good place to start.
About an hour and a half outside Los Angeles in Hespiria, California is Cal-Earth. You will be amazed at these Super Adobe type structures built mostly of Earth. They are open to the public the first Saturday of every month.
What Cal-Earth is doing is amazing. It was founded by Nader Khalili, an architect, lover of Rumi Poetry, and someone who worked hard to get the word out about inexpensive shelters, he called Eco-Domes.
*Stock Plans have been approved in Hesperia City and San Bernardino County.
More PHOTOS: http://www.terihitt.com/CalEARTH.html
Bask in the simple beauty of Nature and the natural poetry of Nader Khalili.
With the ever more increasing costs of fuel and heavy loss of trees already, it is necessary to learn alternative ways of living with the Earth. Creating a home from the Earth with a few other materials saves our resources and makes alot of sense. They offer training and apprenticeship courses.
You get a feeling of peace and well being moving from room to room.
It is a very interesting contrast when you drive in, because you end up driving through a new mini subdivision of houses (a single street) to get to the dirt road and parking for Cal-Earth. Our guides were truly kind and knowledgeable people. There was a pot-luck lunch (bring something if you like). —Teri Hitt

— A pile of earth, dug out from the building site, is turned into a small house called Eco- Dome (moon cocoon model), using the Superadobe technology. It documents how professionals and students from many countries training at Cal-Earth Institute built this structure. It is intended for use with materials and tools developed for instruction during the apprenticeship retreat at Cal-Earth. Superadobe technology was first presented by the architect to NASA for lunar habitats, and can build single or clustered homes on earth which are resistant to fire, floods, wind storms and earthquakes.

Running is a prayer.
The Hopi ran with water that they had collected from all over the world in a gourd, from Moenkopi to Mexico City and then to the pyramids of the Sun and Moon at Teotiwakan. They gave the water they had carried with them to the people and water was exchanged. That water was then taken down to Peru and then brought back up to Mexico. Making connections and receiving blessings from the people there.
The following year runners came from Mexico back up to Hopi with the water and also the feminine activating fire. The Hopi met them at the border and ran all the way back with them.
It rained when they crossed into Zuni.

There is part of the ongoing fulfillment of the prophecy of the connection of both the North and South American Indian tribes. It is a process of Coming Together. Coming Back To Center. It is all directions returning to a HEART CENTERED way of being.
This prophecy explains that when the power of the Eagle of the North connects in balance with the spiritual Earth centered Condor of the South, our Earth will then come into balance.
In March of 2006 The Hopi Indians of North America gathered water from all around the world and ran 2,000 miles to be part of a long awaited ceremony at Teotihuacan (http://www.nativeweb.org/pages/pyramids/teotihuacan.html). The Hopi had not been back to Teotihuacan in 500 years.
Here on the spring equinox they were welcomed by an intercontinental gathering of tribes and they performed the Eagle Dance for the first time in 500 years.

–More about the Eagle and Condor Prophecy
Through out our history in the story telling of our ancient people there is a line that is told from generation to generation without the tellings of old we could not survive as the indigenous people. There was a legend told, a story of the great bird, this today is known as the condor and the most powerful of the native peoples telling, the Eagle. It was said in time there will be a bringing forth to all that is of this creation, of world the Condor will come from the South the Eagle will come from the North and it is said of the two – when they are brought to actual pairing this is now the beginning of what is to be a time of peace.
So in this profound statement of seeing the Condor from the South and the Eagle feather from the North and being bringing forth in time of such an auspicious occasion, a gathering such as this. We know now that this was destiny, this was told in the ancestry and now we have got the ability and the blessing to see the fruition. it is now our responsibility, to know that with this we have responsibility to unfold it in the most appropriate way.
Our people have simply said let heart take lead with this the unfolding
shall come into beautiful manifestation.

One year later the tribes that welcomed the Hopi decided to do a return trip.
They gathered the 4 elements, the water the Hopi brought, the fire which was lit by a mayan elder, earth and air, these tribes ran the 2000 miles back to hopi land and not only brought the 4 element but also brought the much need rain. For the first time, ever the Hopi allowed for an outside group to dance in their sacred second mesa courtyard and allowed it to be recorded. This was a gift.
It is said that Montezuma’s treasure would reveal itself in 500 years. This treasure is the uncovering of the true rich culture of the Native American Indians.
