Einstein

"6 Billion Others" tries to draw a portrait of contemporary humankind by asking questions about universal values. What is happiness? What lessons can we learn from life's difficulties? What is the meaning of life?

Cohen

"Up there in the immensity of the Cosmos, an inescapable perception awaits us. National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatical ethnic, religious or national chauvinisms are a little difficult to maintain when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars."

--Carl Sagan

Tolle

It started with a question: How can we inspire people to take action on climate change? The answer: Ask the people of Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour. On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year. With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off, and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities joined Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. Why?

Star Trek

Star Trek has inspired a vision of our future in which humanity is united. Because the Earth's resources aren't sapped by weapons for wars waged between nation states, vast reserves of energy have been freed up, allowing humanity to end poverty and explore space. This popular science fiction series has helped spread a world centric view of humanity; that there is a higher authority in which we owe our allegiance, beyond the limited nationalism of the nation state.


Star Wars

Star Wars presents us with an endearing cosmopolitan archetype; aliens and humans forging close friendships, spiritual bonds and alliances even when they speak different languages and look vastly different from one another. It also makes us think about religion in a universalist perspective. Do alien beings on far off worlds worship the same Gods that our great religions offer us? Or perhaps there is something more like the Force, binding all life in all galaxies together towards one common destiny.


Stop Divine Strake

"Divine Strake" is the name given to the planned military test explosion of a 700-ton ammonium nitrate-fuel oil bomb that was originally scheduled to be detonated at the Nevada Test Site on June 2, 2006. What is the purpose of Divine Strake? One of the main purposes of the "Divine Strake" test, if not the only one, is to use a large conventional high explosive charge to simulate the effect of a low yield nuclear weapon. Early Department of Defense budget documents described the Divine Strake test as a demonstration intended to '...simulate a low yield nuclear weapon ground shock environment...,' and as part of a planning tool to '...improve the warfighter's confidence in selecting the smallest proper nuclear yield necessary to destroy underground facilities...'
