At this critical moment in Earth’s history, when humanity must choose its future in an increasingly interdependent and fragile world, a document has been produced which sets out in some detail ethical principles permeated by the concept of Reverence for Life, which can help us find answers to these very difficult questions of our time. The Earth Charter is the result of the most open and participatory process ever conducted in connection with the drafting of an international document, and it is to be presented to the UN General Assembly in 2002 for their endorsement. You can find full details at www.earthcharter.org, and we thoroughly recommend support of this initiative.
