We are petitioning ourselves actually, that is, the petitions are but means of information; it is intented to bring about awareness.
The primary goal is to make population, human reproduction in relation to earth and other species, a topic one can openly discuss - to lift the taboo.
As far as we are concerned(at 'Future of Mankind' ), the petition will be forwarded to the UN; to the following organizations:
- the World Population Awareness Organization
- The Earth Charter Initiative:
http://www.earthcharter.org/
- Population Action International (PAI):
http://www.populationaction.org/
- Population Coalition:
http://www.populationpress.org/
- Population Connection:
http://www.zpg.org/
-The Population Institute:
http://www.populationinstitute.org/
- Growth Is Madness:
http://growthmadness.org/2006/12/24/...ironment-link/
- Optimum Population Trust:
http://www.optimumpopulation.org/...
to other major international organizations dealing with development and population; to as many as possible Ministries of Population, Family Welfare and Women and Children Emancipation of different countries; to Mister Nelson Mandela, Reverend Desmond Tutu; to senior politicians... and to all responsible citizens of our world, who make decisions directly influencing our daily life.
And yes, to the pope too - do you hear him recently about condoms on his way to Africa?!!!
