Earth Citizen Pledge

"Aware of the vastness of the universe and the uniqueness of life, I
accept and affirm my responsibility as an Earth Citizen to nurture and
care for our planet as a peaceful, harmonious home where life may
flourish.

Believing that each of us can make a difference, I pledge to persevere in
Waging Peace.  With my spirit, intellect, and energy I shall strive to:

* Reverse the nuclear arms race, and end this omnicidal threat to the
continuation of life;

* Redirect scientific and economic resources from the destructive
pursuit of weapons technologies to the beneficial tasks of ending
hunger, disease, and poverty;

* Break down barriers between people and nations, and by acts of
friendship, reduce tensions and suspicions;

* Live gently on the Earth, reclaiming and preserving the natural
beauty and profound elegance of our land, mountains, oceans, and sky;

* Teach others, by my words and deeds, to accept all members of the
human family, and to love the Earth, and live with dignity and justice
upon it."
