Dear Permaculture activists
I believe we should add our design input into such a touted document on sustainability: the Earth Charter. It is an exciting endeavor promoting Permaculture design to a global audience with all of you fellow practitioners, making positive shifts in the landscape of information.
Thank you for all of your bright ideas and good work! May permanent peace prevail on Earth!
- Marco

The Earth Charter process has been a worldwide dialogue on shared
values and global ethics to define a universal code of conduct towards
sustainability.

As a result of the worldwide consultation process, which involved
thousands of groups in various parts of the world, the Earth Charter
Commission issued a final version of the Earth Charter after their
meeting on March 12-14, 2000, at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.

The Earth Charter Commission plans to review responses to the document
over the next two to four years and consider possible amendments.

The focus will now move to using the Earth Charter as an education tool
in formal and non-formal education, and as the basis for business and
professional codes of conduct and national development plans.

The Earth Charter is a declaration of interdependence and responsibility
and an urgent call to build a global partnership for sustainable
development. The principles of the Earth Charter are closely
interrelated. Together, they provide a conception of sustainable
development and set forth fundamental guidelines for achieving it.

Please take the time to read the Earth Charter: embrace it, use it,
promote it and integrate it into the activities that you are involved with.
