It will be yet another opportunity to come together as people of planet Earth to explore our relationship with our planet and with one another. Yet, I am really confused about what is happening in our world. I am witnessing something that has me feeling sad, a little frustrated as a young person and sometimes even a little angry.

Only an acorn and things akin to it can dream the greatness of pure wilderness upon the earth. Untouched by man, the laws of nature, first and foremost, support the systems they serve; the floral and fauna thrive under the direction of nature's laws. Plants and animals lived accordingly, nourishing the earth and allowing it to grow and flourish. Water systems give freely of themselves, nurturing the soil and plants along the way, while continuing their journey, bringing fresh cool water for animals waiting near the water holes. The rain replenishing the water reservoirs as the wind transports the seeds of new life all nurtured by the heat of the sun. In perfect harmony, the wilderness survives on its own. The most exotic and interesting families of animals roamed the earth. Their greatness in size, color, beauty, speed and strength second to none, as they graced the forests, deserts, mountains, plains, and the rivers and oceans. They adapted to the conditions of their environment and prospered there. There were people, later to be called indigenous people, who lived in close harmony with the rest of nature. They used nature to survive but only took from it what they needed and nothing was left to waste.

A world currency refers to a currency that is transacted internationally, with no set borders. While it is true more and more firms are becoming multinational and must deal with a number of monetary systems, it is not always feasible to develop one monetary system to do away with the exchange rate. On March 26, 2009 a UN panel of expert economists called for a new global currency reserve scheme to replace the current US dollar based system. Other proposals have been put forth but the all have some difficulties.
