The massive global migration underway now from countryside to cities will demand huge investments in energy, water, materials, waste, food distribution, and transportation over the next 25 years. If the right investments are made now, this unique opportunity will be the catalyst for dramatic changes in the built environment and the fight against carbon emissions and climate change,” quoting the Earth Day Network.

This was posted on the Ramtha Facebook page April 19, 2014:
The Yelm newspapers [Nisqually Valley News] Assistant Editor Tyler Huey stated in his opinion column his thoughts about Ramtha & the curriculum at RSE. Huey said he relies on science and after he received scientific documentation to dispel his assertions about RSE, JZ Knight questioned and encouraged him to stand-up for what he does believe.
Shouldnt a newspaper reporter be challenged when using the power of the pen in their position of influence when they make statements on something they have never experienced?
[Mr. Huey has never attended an RSE event, however after their e-mail exchange, JZ invited him to a Beginning Event as her guest.]
JZ sent this e-mailer to the RSE e-llst so you can read in this light, her letter now posted on the newspapers website and is important for your review:
