Statement at Lehman Bros meeting

Louise Benally

April 3rd, 2001

I came to New York to call for a promotion of energy conservation from fossil burning fuels to renewable, environmentally safe energy.

Due to Global Warming impacts, which in our case we feel the roots start where we live, where they pull the coal out of the ground. Producing chemical contamination in the air and water and then shipping the coal out in all directions using the only clean drinking water source in our region at no cost to the coal company at over one billion gallons per year. This is the amount of water Peabody Coal Co. is using to slurry coal.

We want Lehman Brothers to invest in renewable energy promoting to renewable, safe fuel. The effects of global warming have no limits; it cannot be stopped unless balance is restored. beings must act and educate each other about disimbalance that is taking place in nature from the global warming and the shrinking of the water supply. The good water if getting less and less and the air has already been under attack.

We all need to make that step towards global change in energy development. If we take all the resources out of the earth, it will lose balance with the moon. The moon controls many different energies and elements, including the ocean. It will get out of control if we don't change things now.

can talk to their parents or relatives about the impacts. We are turning to Lehman Brothers shareholders to correct these environmental problems because they are paying for these operations. We want them to pay for the changes that effect all levels of human life including human rights and religious freedom rights. we want to see the future, then we can't ignore the problem.

The poles are melting and we have to do something to change it now.

It's here now!problem with Global Warming is here. If we don't deal with it, it will only get worse.

I don't think its fair that a few elite people have control of the Earth to destruct an destroy it. the shareholders of Lehman Brothers Corp/Peabody Coal Co. understand maybe they are already suffering from the rolling blackouts or they will be here soon.

we create this world to come out of balance then no federal tax dollar can fix it.

Nature doesn't understand money.
