I came across this article and found it interesting how the UN is making a strong effort to create a UN-centered world government. This would only lead toward progress as in our current environmental crisis the earth has become a major issue in politics. With climate change and the natural damage we are responsible, it is crucial for government to become involved and see to it that we can become more environmentally conscience. My favorite quotes out of this article was as follows:

"The environment should compete with religion as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity." While the official strategy does not call for a global environmental religion, it does posit, "We must spare no effort to free all of humanity ... from the threat of living on a planet irredeemably spoilt by human activities..."


Government leaders are realizing the importance of the environment for healthy mental and physical condition. It's comparison to religion is extrodinary as society is globally caring and responding toward its restoration effort. I have always made a spiritual connection with the environment as I've found religion to exist the most within nature. It is good to know that world government recognizes that and wants to make sure that people can enjoy and further that experience.
