OPEN LETTER
From
BARBARA WISEMAN
INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT
THE EARTH ORGANIZATION

The reason I’m reaching out today is that I wanted to tell you about an exciting educational concept that, once it is broadly known and understood, will help turn around the destructive direction society is headed in right now.

Our environmental non-profit, called The Earth Organization, has a very effective program that helps youth and adults improve their relationships with their families, their schools, their local communities, and the natural world.

If you are concerned about what is happening in society relating to subjects like criminality, a sense of entitlement, disrespect for parents and the elderly, abuse of children, injurious actions to animals and nature, and other irresponsible behavior, I suspect this may be something that you and/or your business would want to support.

Getting kids out of the hypnotic pictures of their digital devices for at least short periods of time; getting them looking at the world around them; developing the natural sense of pride that one obtains from helping others and making the world around them a better place; and bringing about the vital awareness that all life only thrives through actively enhancing the world around oneself… are vitally important to understand if a young person is to succeed in life and be part of bringing about a healthier future for all.

We are convinced that teens, for example, who truly understand this principle are not going to be out looting and burning down the very grocery stores where their mother buys their food. That’s just one example, of course, of a world society that is in deep distress right now.

But for now, I want to explain to you what we do and how we do it through education.

Overall, The Earth Organization works to find and implement logical solutions that work for all involved. We realized that, no matter what projects we take on, if we didn’t also work to raise humanity’s awareness of each person’s vital partnership for survival with the natural world, we, like many other groups, would be “saving the whales”, and “saving the rhinos” and “saving the rainforests” …until they’re gone.

In studying these issues in some depth, we’ve found that the most fundamental concept that must be inspired back into society to truly reverse these decaying situations is how one’s own survival is interwoven with, and interdependent upon, the health and survival of those life forms and things around oneself.

Most importantly, to live well, one must actively enhance the parts of one’s own ecosystem and by so doing, one strengthens one’s own potential for long-term well-being.

We created the terms “Cooperative Ecology™” and “CoEco™” and have developed an ever-expanding set of reading materials and courses based on this principle.

We have received rave reviews from teachers, students, and parents that the information is unique, valuable and, once learned, they are applying it to their lives. It’s all based around teaching the concept and importance of the give and take of life.

A little more information about the books.

Our beginning books first set the stage to make it personal with practical exercises to get the student to closely look at all of the things their parents (or guardians) do for them that makes their life happier, healthier, and safer. We then have them causatively do something for their parents and then observe if their own life got better in any way as a result.

Then we have them do similar steps on their sibling(s), their home, their bedroom, their teachers, their schools, their churches, and one of their businesses in their neighborhood.

Next, we have them do similar steps related to the natural world.

Here is an example from our books.

“What does that park do for you?”

“And what do you do for that park?”

and so on….

After all of those exercises are done, the student has a truly personal understanding of how he or she can improve their own life by purposefully enhancing the world around them.

Once that awareness has been achieved, we then get them to see that this same principle is true for all life forms; and that is an avenue by which we inspire greater concern for and interest in safeguarding and restoring a healthy, natural world.

“What does that tree do for that anthill in your backyard?

“What does the anthill do for the tree?”

The end goal of the books is to educate the children who learn and apply:

1. CoEco principles.

2. Who have far more understanding of the world around them.

3. Who are aware of their impact on the environment.

4. Who realize that those individuals and species who live most successfully are those who actively work to enhance the life and things around them upon which their life depends.

There is urgency here.  As the world sinks into deeper misery and distrust, as environmental conditions continue to decay, we can have positive and far-reaching impact through this program to reverse these conditions. But we must move fast and scale up rapidly.

We have an entire campaign ready for roll out around the world through our chapters in the U.S., Africa, Europe, India, and Nepal that needs only the funding for us to scale up to a whole new level with distribution of booklets, workshops, and webinars to engage and activate students in applying this concept to the world around them and, by setting good examples, and encouraging others to do so as well.

Your support will result in children fundamentally inspired for life to safeguard and improve the natural world!

As an added bonus to you, there are various benefits available for those who help us to forward this program in their area.  Just contact us to find out more about this.

Again, the only thing slowing the launch of this massive campaign is a lack of funding.

We need your help to do this!

I’m so hoping that you will be interested in supporting this program locally and perhaps even globally. If so, let’s set up a meeting to discuss it so I can answer any questions you might have.

Here’s to a better, happier, safer world for all life!

Very Best Regards,

Barbara Wiseman
