we pledge allegiance to - The Earth Charter -
PREAMBLE:
We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the
world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great
promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures
and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must
join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human
rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples
of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future
generations.www.earthcharter.org
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
