☼      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

☼      Conclusions
