Executive Summary 1% Solution (TOPS)
The 1% Solution as proposed by my associate Mitch Gold of IAEWP Canada
is a voluntary global tithe implemented through a Brand Label Marketing
strategy. The program is supported around the world by dignitaries such
as Federico Mayor, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Dr. Young Seek Choue, T.Y.S.
Lama Gangchen and many others. This program contains holistic education
models, and is delivered to society through educators both formal and
informal and is available over the internet at www.homeplanet.org. The
program strategy is built around the Culture of Peace initiatives of
both UNESCO and the United Nations and satisfies the physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual perspectives of individuals.. The program has
contained within it several universal thinking filters at encourage
global thinking and instilling positive human values with an unbiased
approach. Its primary starting point is a Vision Changer curriculum
which encourages a visualization process followed by taking action to
create an individuals' preferred world view. The program has been developed
around the Manifesto 2000 document of the Culture of Peace movement
and is to be implemented into society formally through educators and
informally through Olympic Athletes trained to deliver the messages
of the program into schools, community centres and the business community
through the Mayors offices in each city. Four related formal Proclamations
have been enunciated - and a variety of sectors of civil society will
be encouraged to make the formal Proclamation.
They are:
1) all educators both formal and informal are educators for world peace
2) all educators for world peace will shift buying habits of individuals,
organizations, institutions and Nation States to support the 1% Solution.
3) Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) will be referred to as Greenwich Peace
Time (GPT) as a Symbol of World Peace.
4) All governments will be encouraged to set aside 1% of military budgets
to establish a Department of Peace. ( endorsed by Dennis Kucinich -
Democratic candidate in the US) Coincidental with the development of
the business participatory component is a new classification for accountant
- Global Accountant.
This accounting function will enable the expression of an opinion on
financial statements of corporations indicating compliance with protocols
of equity, sustainability, quality of life and participation in the
1% solution according to the terms of its sectoral agreements. This
program and process is in a research phase, and when implemented will
raise significant funding for civil society. Communities world wide
that are experiencing cutbacks, downsizing and elimination as drastic
need for their existence grows. The spend and control function on the
funds generated will be under the guidance of 'elders' from civil society
and will be selected from outside the existing UN and intergovernmental
structures. The process for selection is occurring during the two year
research phase. This program offers hope and partial solution to the
mega crisis we face on planet earth and will be enriching for communities
to engage in the program at all levels of practical experience. Dr.
Charles Mercieca Ph.D. Founder and President of the IAEWP
