Toward a healthy, beautiful world for future
generations
with a global society that enables people everywhere
to live peaceful, healthy, and dignified lives
in ways that preserve and restore the earth's
biosphere.
Humanity must preserve the earth's resources
and bring society's actions into balance with
nature. |

Principles |
|
|
|
- Respect for biological
diversity, which has created the life-sustaining
biosphere of our planet. Acknowledge that human
existence is dependent upon preservation of this
diversity.
- Resolve conflicts without
violence. Humanity can no longer afford the
societal disintegration and subsequent
environmental damage which results from violence,
whether local or global.
- Improve and insure social,
economic, and environmental equity. Diversity
should be honored and all people should be treated
with fairness and dignity.
- Bridge the pessimism,
cynicism, disbelief and denial of the present
worldviews to the enthusiasm, passion and
abundancy of spirit for a future of
sustainability.
- Point to the worldviews and
communications necessary to bring harmony for the
common humanity we all share.

about the complexity of sustainability, and
interrelationships between local, regional,

earth.
- Provide a forum through
which organizations with similar and diverse
agendas can discover common interests, and inspire
and establish mutually supportive policies and
programs.

regional and national actions and plans for
implementing them.
