It is becoming increasingly clear that current government policies and corporate “business as usual” are leading us straight toward ecological disaster and climate chaos. The inconvenient truth is that there will be no organic or sustainable future unless health-minded organic consumers and farmers all over the world take up the banner of “No War, No Warming.” As nearly all of the world’s scientists are now warning us, in order to avoid catastrophic global changes, we must keep atmospheric greenhouse gas (primarily CO2) pollution below 450 parts per million and launch a trillion dollar program of greening the U.S. and global economy–including making local and regional based organic food and farming the norm—and reducing greenhouse gases by at least 10% in 2010, and 90% in 2050. We must stop the trillion dollar war for oil in Iraq, stop all future wars, and end our addiction to fossil fuels. We must shift $680 billion in annual military expenditures to rebuild urban and rural communities. We must go green and promote environmental and organic justice with new jobs and a new food and farming system in a clean energy economy. These are the demands of No War, No Warming, a broad network, spearheaded by the Organic Consumers Association and dozens of other groups, that has come together over the last six months. On Monday, October 22nd, No War No Warming activists will converge on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to engage in mass nonviolent civil disobedience. You can find out more and sign up for the D.C. action or for local actions at http://www.NoWarNoWarming.org
