\u201cYou are listened to. You can influence others,\u201d wrote L. Ron Hubbard in the introduction to \u201cThe Way to Happiness,\u201d\u00a0a\u00a0common-sense guide to better living and modern-day moral code applicable to people of all faiths or none.<\/p>\n
Churches and Scientologists are emphasizing two precepts in keeping with this year\u2019s World Environment Day slogan, \u201cWe have #Only One Earth. Let’s take care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
These precepts are:<\/p>\n
Set a Good Example<\/a>, and<\/p>\n Safeguard and Improve Your Environment<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cCut down too many forests, foul too many rivers and seas, mess up the atmosphere and we have had it,\u201d L. Ron Hubbard wrote in the 12th precept of the book. \u201cThe surface temperature can go roasting hot, the rain can turn to sulfuric acid. All living things could die.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMan has gotten up to the potential of destroying the planet. He must be pushed on up to the capability and actions of saving it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is, after all, what we\u2019re standing on.\u201d<\/p>\n This year\u2019s\u00a0World Environment Day campaign<\/a>\u00a0emphasizes the need \u201cfor\u202fcollective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n To raise awareness about the environment and the need to take action, Scientology Churches and Scientologists are organizing community cleanups. As Mr. Hubbard points out in the introduction to\u00a0\u201cThe Way to Happiness,\u201d \u201cIt is in your power to point the way to a less dangerous and happier life.\u201d<\/p>\n And Scientology Churches bring together those concerned about\u00a0this and other vital issues at open house events and conferences to\u00a0create maximum impact by coordinated action.<\/p>\n \u201cThe answer to this planet\u2019s problems will not be found in the material. Of this there can be no question,\u201d said Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in an overview he presented of the Scientology religion. \u201cFor if those solutions can\u2019t prevent war nation to nation, how then can it be expected to answer questions like love, happiness or peace of mind?… What people need are\u00a0real\u00a0solutions,\u00a0real\u00a0tools to deal with and effectively overcome human problems.\u201d<\/p>\n And one such solution supported by Scientology Churches and Scientologists is\u00a0\u201cThe Way to Happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch\u00a0\u201cThe Way to Happiness<\/a>\u201d\u00a0book on film on the\u00a0Scientology Network, available on DIRECTV channel 320 and streaming at\u00a0Scientology.tv,<\/a>\u00a0through\u00a0mobile apps<\/a>\u00a0and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.<\/p>\n LEARN MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.thewaytohappiness.org\/thewaytohappiness\/precepts\/safeguard-and-improve-your-environment.html<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientology.org\/how-we-help\/way-to-happiness\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientologynews.org\/press-releases\/<\/a><\/p>\n MULTIMEDIA:<\/strong><\/p>\n
