UNPLUG 2007 October 13th Give Mother Earth a Rest! The \"Unplug America\" campaign was introduced by Indigenous Peoples in 1992 and is an invitation to all people to show our love and respect for our Mother Earth by challenging our country\'s unhealthy lifestyle. Here in the U.S. our continued over-consumption of fossil fuels depletes water resources, pollutes the land and air, and causes health problems throughout Turtle Island and the world. Furthermore, it contributes to climate change which is impacting people throughout the world right now! October 13th is a day to unplug - turn off the TV and radio, shut off the taps, and leave the fossil-fuel burning vehicle at home! Instead take a walk with friends and family, tell stories, do something artistic, and say a prayer for Mother Earth and our communities. It is only one day but is a first step in reducing our carbon footprint, reflecting on how much we actually consume, exploring consumer choices and ways of life that are more healthy and sustainable, and acting for future generations. Please join us in celebrating life and honoring the interdependency of all things! Please sign our petition to pledge your commitment to participating in Unplug Day 2007 and leave us a comment letting us know what you did!
