I pledge to volunteer as much as possible and to reach out to others in my community in Chicago to do more volunteering as that will increase compassion within others and that energy will expand!!!

Please find a way to continue to show the beautiful Public Service Announcements that were created for this event. Perhaps the dates of the event could be changed to a call for action to go the web site or a referral to the 1 year commitment.

As the creator of slowmovingwater.com there is an amazing solution to many of our supposed "problems".  Funding Health,education and welfare from this zero pollution,zero impact fuel plant (we make hydrogen ,oxygen from slow moving water) makes fuel that has zero pollution and is not dependent on any foreign situation.  Ownership is by private party, CoOp, business or Community.  Decentralised power allows individual communities decide what to do with the millions of dollars that ordinarily vanish into the innards of the giant monopolies.

   There is a certain amount of sadness that the Dalai Lama has not viewed this website and encouraged our efforts to stop pollution, stop global warming and empower the people with the responsibility and ability to positively change our world(s)Please allow this important simple solution to be viewed by endorsers of Peace.
