United Nations Earth Charter

At ORF we have ebbs and flows of information on specific topics. Wolves are catching the spotlight at the moment. We have not, and will not drop the U.N.

They have been doing precisely that, and will be accelerating their program throughout the world — including in schools in your neighborhood. The U.S. Conference of Mayors is but one of hundreds of organizations, schools, municipalities, and other entities that have signed on as supporters of this declaration of a new "global ethic" for the world...."
