1)Indigenous people—They were the original caretakers of Earth. A respect and support of
them in the following areas should be an integral part of the setting of intentions and the finding of solutions.

2) The environment—Developing solutions for pollution, toxic waste, landfills, pesticide use, deforestation, etc.

3) Food supply—Open access to heirloom seeds of all varieties should be standard practice rather
than the current standard: being constrained by genetically modified seed use, pesticides, and limited food crops. We will look at food production to feed and nourish the world, including traditional farming and organic crops, as well as the right to own seeds.

4) Energy—Examining current levels of energy supply and resources and their availability in the
future. We want to see more focus on the development and promotion of new energy supplies to be available to all people.

5) Impoverished areas of the world—Looking for global solutions for all humanity. The knowledge and technology to prevent wide-spread poverty and suffering is available.

6) Humanitarian rights and free speech—Regardless of race, religion, gender, age, belief or other distinction, free speech around the globe – for freedom of the soul.

7) Home and building development—Exploring new ways to build and heat homes that are realistic in a growing world population.

8) Animal protection—We need to protect our planet’s animals from human development and poisonous dumping and spraying. The animals of our earth need us to be responsible or millions of species will not survive.

9) Education—All children deserve to learn reading, writing and math skills. Furthermore, there should be widespread education for the purpose of assisting the changes in the world we wish to see.

10) Health rights—Every human being on Earth should have access to health care—not only from the world of medicine, but also from the traditional and natural remedies of the world.

11) Maintaining natural resources—How to live in harmony with nature and the earth, including new ways of creating and delivering products.

12)Protection of ecosystems, small and large—Looking to protect the oceans, wetlands, deserts, and all ecosystems for the benefit of the planet and for generations to come.

13) Alternatives to our monetary systems-- Looking at alternatives to our current monetary system and finding a simpler solution to trade and exchange of goods and services.
