EARTHERIAN

‘Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. – Chief Seattle, 1855

There is a committed band of dynamic persons who are connecting to the larger world through their passion for astronomy, ecology and humanism. Their fascination for the earth, things therein and around, eventually breaks all possible barriers and boundaries created by mankind over the ages.

It is pertinent to note that such persons no longer remain Indian, Asian, American, Australian, African or European… they become Eartherians. As children of Mother Earth, they respond as custodians of the common good of all Eartherians including the generations to come of the entire spectrum of the web of life on earth.

To be a better Eartherian, means to shun all prejudice and aligned hatred and violence. It is all about discovering our collective heritage and our common lineage not just with all mankind but also with living and extinct animals. It is about evolving to be better at quest for knowledge and an attitude to involve in sustainable practices. It is about being, both responsible and responsive.

This Earth is ours, and the sky is too…

Let’s BE BETTER Eartherians, me and you!
