Vision and Purpose Because of it's simplicity Healing Day becomes a unifying point for all people who wants to stop the effects of global warming wherever they may be. Healing Day is an awareness day where we focus on the problem at hand. The non-action on Healing Day is a symbolic action of stooping the emission of greenhouse gas. It also becomes symbolic of the need for us to stop and reflect about our day-to-day actions. The collective action of non-action, because it is so simple that anyone can do it, becomes a powerful unifying focus inspiring hope in people that global warming can be stooped. The non-action of Healing Day simply calls out for a change. In taking part of Healing Day you will simply be taking a stance for the fact that you don't want global warming to ruin the earth and our future. The protest against human actions causing global warming is not aimed towards anyone, rather it's a protest against global warming itself and the genral humans actions that are contributing to it. Inevitably, in this protest most of us will be protesting against our own way of living. Anyone who has driven a car, taken a hot shower or bought food transported from far away is in part responsible for the cause of global warming. That is why Healing Day is a non-aggressive protest, because we acknowledge the fact that we have shared responsibility for the situation we are in. The long-term vision of Healing Day is for everyone to wake up to their individual responsibility as caretakers of the earth. That we may realize that each person's action is the foundation for where the human race will head collectively. If you want to see the collective human action of the earth be to stop global warming, this is your chance be part of it and make it happen. Healing Day simply serves as a reminder of where you want us to end up. Each individual's actions matter. Our day-to-day actions matter. As we realize our own responsibility we will collectively be able to the change the course of the future so that it becomes more positive. Right now global warming doesn't offer us a very positive outlook of the future. If individuals like you choose to be part of Healing Day that outlook can change. Now is the time for you to ask, what sort of future would you like? What will you do to make it happen? |
