"Costa Rica was nothing, if not the ecological comeback kid of planet earth. "Where are you going?" A DFW skyhop picked me up in his electric cart. I boarded my flight, and we landed a few drinks later. I walked out of the terminal into the warm humid air. I saw Europeans, especially Germans, everywhere, more Europeans and Asians than Americans. I realized that everybody and their brother were coming from around the world to Costa Rica for their trip to Eden. Here, Eden was being restored and you could play it out for real. I was glad to be there. The country, too, felt peaceful." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save planet earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Really, the ways we can stop being toxic in life, as a nation, individuals, consumers, and as inhabitants of planet earth are as myriad as our relationships and consciousness itself. I went away from my environmental roots for a long time. I saw myself as a hard-nosed businessman, nursing martinis and bulging stomach, along with all my other corporate friends, most of whom were Republicans. Or maybe I just treated people and the Earth as dismissively as any corporate guy would. The corporation fed me, and I fed my woman, and I was a pretty basic guy." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save planet earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "If you own open land, bequeath it to a preservation or conservation society like the Nature Conservancy or other organization dedicated to working to preserve planet earth. If not a public bequest, create a covenant for all future owners. Remake your world. Change your surroundings. Have icons of your new consciousness everywhere. Have green art and furniture. Teach your children. I might sound like a recycling fanatic to the kids, but I know that recycling when they are young is something that helps sensitize them to environmental issues later when they are older." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save planet earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"She explains how she made an imaginary contract between her and all the citizens of planet earth, wrote "void" on it in red ink, shrunk it to the size of a postage stamp, and then burned it in a violet flame as the ashes dissipated into the light above. My first destination is Onomea Orchards, a tropical fruit farm belonging to Richard Johnson, a retired manager from Intel. Confident and businesslike, he is growing rambutans, mangosteens and durians for profit. He's convinced that these fruits will soon be as popular as kiwis." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"This trial may not be unique to humankind on planet earth. Any intelligent, tool-using life form will probably meet a similar test. A species that can modify its environment will almost certainly want to use its creativity to improve its chances of survival. Doubtless it would be delighted with a longer life expectancy, and might not, at first, see any need to curb its biological productivity. Slowly, imperceptibly at first, its population would begin to grow. So also would its technological abilities. As with any other evolutionary process, each new advance would facilitate further advances." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Claude Bernard TT _L _I_ umanity's unprecedented powers of thought and action have established us as a most significant species on planet earth. But our evolutionary significance does not end there. Our minds and hands have produced a new source of novelty, putting at nature's disposal a fundamentally new mechanism of evolution. If we move to a cold climate, we no longer have to adapt by evolving a thicker coat of hair, more fat, or changes in metabolism—a process that, even with selective breeding, could take thousands of years." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Yet, at the same time as we push ahead toward greater technological brilliance, the dangers of misapplying our awesome powers are also becoming increasingly apparent. planet earth is suffering badly from the impact of our waste. Its mineral and biological resources have been plundered. Its delicately balanced climate is being disturbed—perhaps irreversibly. Moreover, as resources dwindle, the tensions between peoples increase, and threaten to explode at the slightest provocation. But one thing is certain: the future will be full of surprises." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"The wildest diversity of fruit life is to be found in the resplendent cummerbund on the tuxedo of planet earth in between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Temperate habitats, which house hundreds of species, cannot compare to the richness of tropical rain forests, where tens of thousands of species coexist. A visitor to the Sub-Saharan region will encounter numerous fruits, such as the plumlike caura, a number of berries including the sone and the tekeli, and the hazelnut-sized cobai' fruit, said to be so delicious that, when in season, no other food is touched." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"So widespread and invasive are man-made substances (synthetics) in our world that I'm sorry to report, being alive on planet earth today tags us all with a label: toxic—guaranteed! The question is, how toxic are you} That's what we are going to answer in this first chapter. In doing so, you will begin to see just how pervasive, and often unavoidable, health-damaging substances are in our everyday life. Old theories about the effect they have on our bodies simply are not true: The body can handle toxins—that's what the liver is for. The government will protect us from the really bad stuff." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "If you scored below 10, you are not living on planet earth in the twenty-first century, you have fibbed on the test, or you are living a very sheltered life!) If you scored higher than 25: You are a prime candidate for completing the entire detox program from start to finish, beginning with the total-body basic cleanse and movhave potentially devastating consequences. These concerns magnify with every report of oil spills, disappearance of rain forests, species extinctions, and so on." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Drifty, as in, 'calling planet earth, do you read me?' Drifty means difficulty concentrating. Many children cannot understand what they read or what's being asked of them in class. They are very, very slow to comprehend and very absent minded, spacey. Their parents have to give them the same instructions four or five times, which leads to a lot of frustration. Driven is 'wired for sound,' impulsive, not thinking before a child does something. Many children grow up to be adults with these same or similar characteristics—unable to sit still, fidgety, squirmy, wandering around the room." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Emerging studies, such as those reported in Scientific American's special issue entitled "Crossroads for Planet Earth" (September 2005), echo Rees's warning, telling us: "The next 50 years will be decisive in determining whether the human race—now entering a unique period in its history—can ensure the best possible future for itself [my emphasis]." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Plants and animals will thrive. Our planet earth will heal. Until we, as global citizens, pay attention to and practice the live food factor and the other nine energy enhancers with a passion that passes all addictions and ignorance, we are missing this glorious get-well and stay-well boat! Self-Correction Strategies for Cooked Food Eating or Overeating It has been said that the first spaceship to the moon was off course 93% of the time. The rocket only got there because of continual minor self-correction maneuvers." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"As far as we know, there is nothing unique about planet earth. If the conditions here are right for life, they are almost certainly right on many other planets. There are over ten billion stars in our galaxy, and if only one-tenth of one per cent of those have planets with the right conditions for life, there are still ten million suitable planets in our galaxy alone. And there are, according to current estimates, a billion other galaxies out there. That means there could be ten million billion planets capable of supporting life! How many of these planets actually have life on them?" - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"They feel more at home on planet earth than Vatas or Pittas do, since the earth and water elements are most concentrated in their bodies. Their dominating senses are smell and taste, which makes food one of their favorite things. This naturally makes them good cooks, a characteristic that is rarely found among Vatas. Physically, Kaphas have great strength and stamina. Most weight lifters are Kaphas who can access and utilize vast energy reserves. Their bones and joints are heavy and well-built, but they are hidden under a protective fatty skin." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Garry Gordon, a leader in the field of heavy metal detoxification and chelation says, "No one on planet earth is operating at optimal levels without doing something about the toxic metals. Thus the conclusion I draw is that chelation appears a lifetime necessity for all." Gordon is quick to remind us of important toxic problems like lead. He says, "There is no chelation that can dent the lead levels of bones unless continued for at least 7 years (bone turnover time)." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"History of Adaptogens Herbs grow around the world, and their history is certainly as old as the first vegetation on planet earth. We cannot date when plants were first used by man, but we know that people in every region on Earth found important uses for herbs. The history and experience of using these plants was transmitted orally for millennia. Around 2000 to 3000 BCE, the earliest written accounts of using medicinal plants were created. For instance, there is a great deal of mythology and history surrounding the plant holy basil." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book.)

"An example of such "postmodern science" can be found in the influential 1992 book The Universe Story, in which cosmologist Brian Swimme and historian Thomas Berry weave together the latest science into a coherent narrative of the long sequence of transformations, beginning with the Big Bang, that have led to the development of the universe, planet earth, and human consciousness." - Steve McIntosh, Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution (Get the book.) "Indeed, it is hard to deny that evolution's advance from the isolated atoms of hydrogen gas to the blue jewel of planet earth, then from single-celled prokaryotes to the first self-conscious humans, and then finally from the first humans to the twenty-first century's global civilization, is an astonishing odys-sey of development, a magnificent production of form and diversity, and an unfathomable outpouring of creativity." - Steve McIntosh, Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution (Get the book.)

"As required by the Protocol, I have completed my inspection of the planet earth, located in sector S-16 in the peripheral zone of the Galaxy. The human race populating this planet has made good progress in the 1000 Earth years since the last inspection. I have upgraded their status from "budding" to "technologically challenged." You will be amused to know that humans believe they are close to discovering the final theory of the universe. I envy their youthful enthusiasm ..." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.)

"Food manufacturers can claim practically anything is natural, as long as it came from planet earth, and there isn't anything in the food supply that didn't come from the Earth originally, even though it may have been chemically modified. For example, soft drink companies claim that high fructose corn syrup is natural, even though it's a refined product; a simple sugar product that promotes diabetes and obesity. They claim it's natural because it comes from corn, and that's absolutely true; it does come from corn, but you don't see buckets of corn syrup growing on corn stalks." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"These sounds resembled chants by Native Americans, Tibetan monks, Vedic pundits (Sanskrit), and languages from other star systems (not known on planet earth). Within two weeks, I was able to bring forth sounds that would instantly remove emotional blocks and resistance or aversion to certain situations and people, foods, chemicals, thought forms, beliefs, etc." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"WE, the free citizens of planet earth, thus affirm the need for a system of global governance founded on the values of integral consciousness, which include: The value of the universal family of humanity; The value of individual freedom and personal autonomy; The values of decency, honesty, and respect for traditions; The values of progress, prosperity, and economic development; The values of multiculturalism, environmentalism, and egalitarianism; The value of the channel of evolution as a whole—the system through which individuals and societies develop." - Steve McIntosh, Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution (Get the book.)

"If you think of the colors of the rainbow as different nutrients or vitamins, then natural sunlight combines all of those colors into one multi-colored white light and projects that healing white light all the way through space to arrive on planet earth, where it can touch your skin and have a powerful healing effect. Natural sunlight is, I believe, absolutely essential for optimum human health." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.) "I find this all to be quite bizarre that here we are supposedly an intelligent species, and yet we will rip apart foods from planet earth and dissect them and feed ourselves the parts of those foods that make us sick, while taking the parts that prevent and reverse disease and feeding those to our pets and farm animals. It's absolutely crazy, and yet this is what goes on each and every day in the United States and around the world. And it's probably something you have been doing for most of your life unless you've been aware of this kind of information for some time." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Performance 1 glass of coconut water 1 heaping tablespoon of spirulina Spirulina is the highest protein food on planet earth. Coconut water is the highest source of electrolytes found in nature. Both spirulina and coconut water are alkaline. Together, they can drive any athlete to superior performance in all areas. This is one of my secret drinks I recommend for athletes. Piece De Resistance 5 apples 1 lemon Shave off the outer skin of the lemon, leaving the white pith. Juice. I was originally introduced to this recipe years ago by Jay Kordich's book The Juiceman's Power Of Juicing." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.) "Highly advanced beings in all fields walk the planet earth, How do you meet them? How do you learn from them? You must learn to match their frequency and attract them into your life. I have heard the stories of many people all over the world who persisted forward. They felt lonely, isolated by their diet and thus created that reality. However, as they persisted, and the Sunfood delivered its effect, their vibration changed, as did their consciousness. Even in the most remote locations other raw-foodists would show up in their lives." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.) "No one could accurately describe what happened on planet earth yesterday, let alone what happened 100,000 years ago! History books and media consist of what is believed to have happened in the past, not of what actually happened in the past. The whole field of darwinism/evolution is based on the critical assumption that life is shaped by the outer environment. This generated the sociology of "the environment" as determining the character of living beings. And yet, in a pure sense, what is life? Life is the unfolding of the inner potential." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.) "The cooking of food is by far the biggest waste of resources on planet earth. Viktoras Kulvinskas, in his classic book Survival Into The 21st Century, reports that cooking destroys 85% of the value of food. When I first realized this, I was staggered. But I did not understand the full implication of this fact. You see, if 85% of the food value is destroyed in cooking, then, also destroyed, is 85% of the time, labor, resources and energy that went into creating the foods. So this idea of eating raw plant food impacts all agriculture, all business, all the economies of the world, all politics." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"If, for example, we were to discover life in the oceans under the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa, it would be our first opportunity to do truly comparative biology, which might profoundly expand our understanding of the miracle of life on planet earth. Since all the living creatures we've ever found are related to one another, having what might be radically different life-forms to study could alert us to new understandings of life itself. For now, and likely for the next couple of decades, a green space program would not mean sending people into space." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)
