THEREFORE:
RELATED CONTENT
The individual must acquire a new sensation of himself—not as a skin-bounded person threatened by the rest of the world—but as a localized action of the entire universe, inseparable from every other biological, geological, and astronomical process.
There must be a World Ecology Year in 1972 (at the very latest) to divert the attention of all nations and peoples from their trivial quarrels to the overwhelming and centrally important problem of man's relation to his physical environment.
Many bridges are being built toward this MUST by 1972, including:
The Swedish Delegation to the United Nations (825 Third Avenue, New York, N.Y.) which has already taken the preliminary steps for this action under the auspices of the U. N.
The Growth Centers of North America (some 90 independent organizations involved in the Human Potential-Humanistic movement) would like to invite a large number of ecologically concerned leaders in science, philosophy, sociology, and other disciplines to spend from 6 to 12 months in 1972 as guests of these Centers to conduct seminars and lectures to determine action on these problems.
Many other individuals and groups unknown to us are concerned with the ecological problem, and we invite them to get in touch with their nearest Growth Center, with the Swedish Delegation, or with the Esalen Institute, P.O. Box 31389, San Francisco, Calif. 94131.
This manifesto is issued at the request of the Growth Centers of North America, at a meeting held, in San Francisco in July 1969.
