Manuela Testolini Nelson
Location: - 55317-8201
Marching Since: June 28, 2006
Impact: 30 marchers
I march because... global warming is something that we can slow down, stop, reverse.


I march because... this earth is a gift and it is ungrateful to neglect it, to mistreat it, to ignore it


I march because... I was raised a responsible human being


I march because… as a business leader, I know I can be successful AND socially responsible


I march because... my children and theirs deserve to experience nature's wonders as nature intended it


I march because... it is our duty to protect the creatures of this earth


I march because... ALL of the scientists can't be wrong


I march because... I know that I can affect change


I march because... it is my moral responsibility to do so


I march because... I practice what I preach


I march because... I have the courage to stand up for what I believe in


Turn off the tv

Plant a tree

Turn the water off when you brush your teeth


Understand that if each of us does something, we can change this issue for the better

Lead by example


Peace,

Manuela Testolini Nelson

CEO, Gamillah Inc.

Great story luv2luvya, thanks .

People taking responsibility for our communal actions is always a positive extension towards the universe and should be inspirational. Manuela has found a good way to be altruistic with her time.

When did she adopt the name Nelson, tagged on to Testolini - which she always & solely used while "with Prince". Was that part of the divorce settlement, she could start using his last name?

I did not want to turn this into positive comment / negative comment (canceling each other out) - but it makes me wonder ...

I agree



She's been using it for a while now. Still no official word on a divorce. Possible separation though...I guess. It still says they're married on her site...but who knows?

It defies all logic to extract the conclusion that we are not interdependent upon each other and every aspect of creation. To think otherwise is a display of ignorance, arrogance and greed.


To be absorbed only with one's own problems or the relentless pursuit of capitol gain is to pass on the opportunity of elevating one's life. This ultimately leads to the piece by piece destruction of mankind.


The adverse effects of global warming are facts well documented and to ignore them would be akin to allowing a wound to fester and breed enough bacteria to extinguish the entire body.


Whether it is from the standpoint of the Torah, The Bible, Buddhism or other spiritual disciplines, or from the standpoint of Kant's Ethics and simple logic- the physical and moral decay of our communities, Countries and Planet is exactly what we cannot tolerate any longer, or we will court global extinction.
