     Introduction to the precepts

      Honor the Earth, upon which all life depends

      Consider the consequences of all environmental actions over at least 100 years 

      Do not destabilize the Earth’s atmospheric or aquatic systems  

      Do not depend upon energy sources that cannot be replaced

      Do not remove living resources, including soil, trees, and marine life, faster than they can replace                themselves

      Preserve the world’s biological diversity: all the Earth’s species and ecosystems

      Exploitation of the Earth must be accompanied by restoration of the Earth

      Do not have more than two children

      Do not assert ownership over species or their genetic codes; they are not ours to claim

      Corporations and governments share the same environmental responsibilities as individuals; they               must not be allowed to damage the Earth
