This
is the headline of a recent newspaper article. Prince Charles has worked for
many years to encourage awareness of environmental issues. A reader of my STAR
NOTES has sent me a cutting from London’s Evening Standard newspaper, printed
on the same day that my last blog entitled ‘Is there rubbish in paradise?’ was
posted. The article reported a visit of the Prince to the newspaper to give
support and publicity to a meeting of the ‘Royal Society’ bringing together
health ministers, senior civil servants, health professionals and civil society
organisations, to discuss climate change.
In
his keynote speech at the meeting the Prince said ‘Protect the health of the planet, protect our health. Actions which
are good for the planet are also good for human health… Some five years ago the
Lancet’s commission of climate change described it as “the greatest threat to
human health of the 21st century”.’
I
believe that one way in which the magic of the Star is working is in
encouraging key figures in our world today to speak out and use the power of
the media to help inspire and uplift the thoughts and actions of many others,
and particularly those in positions to change our world. Prince Charles’ work
is just one example. White Eagle encourages his Star workers to be constant in
their work! Let us all see the ‘green ray’ pouring onto and into our planet, as
I said before in my previous post.

And
now I invite you to come to the New
Lands Temple (if you can)—or join us in thoughts, on Saturday 28th
March for our Earth Hour Tibetan Bowl
Concert (by Andrew Lyddon). From 8.30 to 9.30pm the Temple will be illuminated only by candles. This evening is an
outer expression of our environmental commitment. It is the WWF’s Earth Hour.
We join it and thus link with many millions of people all over the planet who
are together turning off all electric lights. Let us join together at this time
(physically or in thought) and offer our prayers for our beautiful planet.
