World Beyond War joins with Just World Educational in promoting Earth Day events for on or about April 22, 2018, that will challenge the greatest destroyer of the earth: the war industry.
World Beyond War’s Coordinating Committee member Gar Smith has edited the anthology, De Krich an Ëmwelt Reader, which makes an excellent guide to this issue.
Here are some preliminary ideas from Just World Educational:
- Work with you or others you might suggest to organize one or more dedicated “War Hurts Earth” events in your community.
- Plan good outreach to local media so that the fact and content of these events get well covered—and also, contribute Opinion pieces or Letters to the Editor around these issues to local or national media.
- Create and make freely available a basic fact-sheet providing data on issues like the contribution the Pentagon makes to carbon emissions, the number of acres deforested during the US-Vietnam War, etc.
- Create and make freely available a series of graphic images (such as the above one), that people can use in their publicity.
- Work with Just World Books to make discounted copies of De Krich an Ëmwelt Reader or other print resources available for sale at your events.
- Help out with networking in communities nationwide, to maximize engagement with your local initiatives.

There’s ongoing WAR (and anti-Green behavior) on USA’s streets and roadways! Unabated Littering and Debris KILLING over 800 Americans annually from vehicle collisions. Litterbugs, uncaught waste dumpers, lazy maintenance officials among those to blame. Top states for total DEATHS (and “Chance to Die”) from accidents include TEXAS, WEST VIRGINIA, PENNSYLVANIA, OKLAHOMA, NEW YORK, ALABAMA, MICHIGAN, LOUISIANA.
