Dear Mr. Campbell,
Thank you for your article about extracting minerals from
seawater. This invention seems like a great idea, and can make some people very
wealthy, but I see some major problems with its use.
Four of the first five minerals listed are electrolytes in
the human body, and if those minerals are lost, the human body can’t function.
The same occurs with the Earth, which is a living body, too.
I am the founder and director of a nonprofit organization
that is working to create an international government based on the U.S.
Constitution and the cooperation of nature. One of the departments—the Department
of the Oceans--of the international government will assume responsibility for
keeping the oceans in their pristine condition. Because the Earth is a closed
ecosystem, what affects one part affects it all, and so the environment must be
under the auspices of an international body that takes politics and special
interests out of the equation.
We recommend that any new inventions, such as this one,
where the environment will be affected, face cultural and technological review
before it is put into use, and if it can’t pass review, that it be placed on
the shelf until everyone is in agreement for it to come.
I hope you will support the plan for the international
government. As of today, people in 85 nations support the plan.
Yours for peace,
Karen Holmes,
Principal
The World Peace Organization for the One World Government
