A QUOTE FROM TOM HARPER

The Ten Commandments, though still valid, are completely lacking in concern for our relationship to other species and to the earth itself. They prohibit adultery, murder and lying, but say nothing about the rights of animals, plants, rivers, oceans, or forests. We need an eleventh commandment which says: Thou shalt not commit genocide, the killing of the planet.
-Tom Harper, religion columnist, The Toronto Star.
