Have some "Apple Pie!"

Date: 25 July, 2001

Have you ever considered how life on Earth is seen through the eyes of a deer, an armadillo, or a tiny spider?

  • Life for these creatures, as for us, is risky business.

  • Safety lies in healthy surroundings and cooperative living.

Have you ever thought about how the communities we live in - cities, towns and neighborhoods - are a lot like communities found in nature?

  • Looking through other eyes can teach us about building healthy human communities.

  • Human communities have much to learn from the natural world about living in some degree of harmony

American PIE has produced an inventive 29 minute video, called "Apple Pie," which lets you experience the world as seen by animals and plants. "Apple PIE" uniquely portrays community life as never seen before...through the eyes of a deer, a crab, and more.

"Apple Pie" is intended to help accomplish the following objectives:

  • Introduce knowledge and appreciation of the need to protect whole ecosystems, the extended communities to which humans belong,

  • Stimulate local initiatives for sustaining natural communities...and community life for people, and

  • Provide concrete steps - individual actions - which build community amongst humans and in turn build ecological health. We - and all inhabitants of planet Earth - live in communities large and small. Our own health - and that of our children - depends on how we care for the communities of Earth. And caring begins locally, right in the homes and backyards of America.

For EcoAlert readers, American PIE would like to share some "Apple Pie." A video kit can be purchased by calling 1-800-320-APIE (2743). The kit includes Community EcoActions, a flyer with twenty-five community actions which can help build connections to Earth, to build human community and establish living patterns that benefit, and sustain, all elements of the fundamental biotic community.

Have some "Apple Pie" today. The "Apple Pie" video kit can be obtained by mailing $10 (includes shipping and handling) to our office. You may also call 1-800-320APIE(2743) for credit card orders. All proceeds are used to support the work of American PIE, Public Information on the Environment.
