If you can’t make it to the WWF Earth Hour Celebration at the Hutong School, here’s the outline of what we’re going to say:

 SHARING THE LANGUAGE OF SUSTAINABILITY

******************************

… Earth Hour, 3 Finger Wednesdays, Earth Day and the many wonderful Environmental, Social and Economic efforts around the world are all about SHARING THE LANGUAGE OF SUSTAINABILITY..

… The “3 Finger Tribe“… that’s us… the people who “get it” and are trying to improve themselves and the world around them day by day… you’re at the forefront of bringing all groups around the planet to share the same language… and you know, it’s not English, it’s not Chinese, not Russian, Spanish or French.. it’s the universal language of Peace, Balance and Harmony..

….it’s not HOW you are communicating or how good your vocabulary or grammar is..

it’s WHAT you are communicating, and the positive, optimistic attitude of your conversation… all effective communication comes from the heart.

…More and more, the content of conversations around the world are turning to SUSTAINABILITY, and the 3 Fingers is becoming the simple universal symbol to represent a very complex topic… the concept of Sustainability… in EVERY LANGUAGE ON EARTH.

… and remember.. the “Peace Plus One” 3 Finger Sustainability Symbol was started here in China.. developed to perfection in China, and is to be exported to the world as a unique gift from China.. a meaningful, fun way to share Chinese values and save as much of China and the rest of our world as we can.

It really is up to each one of us. .. not just one day a year, not only at one event or one issue at a time… but learning, and constantly practicing the balance between what we want, and what we really need… and is sustainable…

…we need to constantly improve our personal  ”balancing act” between our desires and the real needs of Society, the Environment and the Economy …

…we can keep reminding ourselves with the 3 Fingers_\!/  …. let’s take a photo, celebrate Sustainability, and post it up to the WWF site! http://flickr.com/groups/eh2010
