Hey fellow kids!

I'm really excited that we're all getting together to help solve the Earth's problems! This site will soon be bursting with answers (and will list other sites that will give more answers) to save the Earth from pollution, overpopulation, smog, etc.! I happen to think that you will all enjoy this because it relates to each and every one of us! I can guarantee that!

I can also guarantee that you can help in some way to save our Earth, cause this is OUR Earth! Kids rule! You want to know why? Because Kids can speak out! People DO and WILL listen to kids (us)!

If we will just speak out about what we want our Earth to be like, um, maybe we could - I got it! We could sign a declaration on what we want in our Earth! Oh my gosh! What a coincidence, we have a declaration for you to sign right here! It's The Children's Environmental Constitution. Now, that's amazing isn't it?

Also you can hear how this idea came about at Tiva's Sacred Grove. There's a neat page from (my sister) Ariana Richards (You may know her best as "Lex" from Jurassic Park) and she tells about some neat things about this project.

You can start by writing your own Earth treaty, and see some examples of other treaties that have already been written, also there's - oh well, I'll just let you find and explore this site yourself. I don't want to take all the fun out of it! Enjoy! And there's so much more to come—we want you to contribute too. Let us know if you find web sites with environmental solutions we can add to our list. We will be spotlighting "Kids of the Month" who take part in this site and contribute the most!

In this section of the site, we are beginning to list the addresses that already have environmental solutions that you can link to.

From your friend,
Bethany Richards

Our main associate site is The Wildlife Awareness Foundation. This group is based in Newport Beach, California.

Do try and visit our new friends at Globe Tree in Sweden. They do wonderful environmental projects for children in Sweden and other countries. They are creating an event called "Future Vessel" to be held on Oct 23 and 24, 1998 in Stockholm. Children from around the world will link up with children in Sweden to create their idea of  a Future Vessel. The vessel will be created from the input of all the students present at the event and linked via computer.

For those of you who are interested in the earth wisdom of the native people of the world, the Huna conference of native elders in Hawaii will bring together the native elders of Hawaii and Alaska to share their solutions regarding the environment. We hope to have more information about this soon.

The Center for International Cooperation runs a special class on communicating with animals! Yes, you really can learn to listen in a special way and "tune in" to animals -- and all life on Earth! Delphi and Pat Chuse guide this very special class teaching us to love and listen to all forms of life. Classes are held at the Center For International Cooperation's HQ in Tucson Arizona. Here is where you'll find Delphi's Web Page, and Delphi will tell you all about it. They also have a page about what the Fairy Kingdom thinks about the environment, which you might enjoy. Do you believe in fairies? You will...
