TED TURNER CALLS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REVOLUTION

Time-Warner Vice President and creator of CNN Ted Turner told an annual meeting of the Society of Environmental Journalists in Chattanooga, Tennessee that global public attitudes and actions toward the environment must go through a "natural revolution" if we are to survive on earth.

"We need to change people's perceptions," Turner said, "If there's no environment, there's no human race." While we have the technology to save ourselves, he said, "we are in a state of global denial."

Turner challenged the Judeo-Christian view of a God separate from nature, the philosophy that man has "dominion over the earth" defined as the opposite of "stewardship,"

And the maxim: Be fruitful and multiply. "We've done that, all too well," Turner said, referring to overpopulation on a global scale.

Perceptions

And what is your impact on the natural resources of the environment?

Stewardship

What is involved in stewardship? The recent success of paper and trash recycling has made many people more aware of their own involvement in the stewardship of the planet. It is a great start in saving the planetary environment. And much more needs to be done.

If you have thoughts about how we can be better stewards of the living earth, please share them. Your ideas will be added to our list of "Stewardship Choices". And if you have stories to tell about the effectiveness of your everyday actions and special projects, please share them with us.
