Celebrate Earth Day: Read the Earth Charter Uncork a bottle of wine or pour some lemonade and gather friends and family to take turns reading the Earth Charter principles on Ecological Integrity. You can take a principle a week to understand and plan an action around. For instance, what are your consumption patterns, how can you decrease them? The Precautionary Principle in (6) is a very important one not always found in international documents: Prevent harm as the best method of envieronmental protection and, when knowledge is limited, apply a precautionary approach. How might you hold corporations responsible, if indeed, their activities cause significant harm? One idea: write a letter to the ceo and chair of the board informing them about your concern (cmpany websites have contact info), and note that you are considering not using their product if one is involved.
