A Call to Action - Live the Earth Charter

I

Respect
and Care for the Community
of Life

Learn from Elder's wisdom and kid's creativity, respect the nature around you and become aware of its diversity.

Make sure your organisation promotes a good participatory process.     (Principles 1a, 3, 4b)

What can I do?

II

Ecological Integrity

“Reduce, Reuse and Recycle”: have your car checked, cycle or use public transport, use renewable energy in your home and office, minimise your paper consumption.

Think about quality of life versus quantity of belongings: buy something only if you need it.             (Principles 5, 7b, 7f, 8b)

Use calico shopping bags and STOP using Plastic Bags!

III

Social and Economic Justice

 

Give some of your resources, time, money or knowledge, to underprivileged
people or countries. Check the origin of the product you buy: does the company respect
human rights?   (Principles 9b,c, 10a,c)

IV

Democracy, Non-Violence and Peace

Promote multi-cultural and inter-generation exchanges in your life, within your group and in its activities.

 

Join a local association in your field of interest.     (Principles 13a, 13b, 16a)
