Imagine Indiana as a national role model of full-spectrum sustainability: green jobs, clean air, healthy children and safe neighborhoods.  The values and principles of the Earth Charter represent a global consensus for how a sustainable future can be accomplished.   These principles are especially relevant and timely because the perfect storm of global warming, peak oil, growing poverty, and pandemic diseases threaten our children’s and their children’s well being. 

 

Earth Charter Indiana joins a growing grassroots effort across Indiana to preserve viable eco-systems and healthy human communities.  ECI’s contribution is to inspire a synergy of common purpose among these many sustainability practitioners and to provide opportunities for interchange and training that enhance their results.  The concluding words of the Earth Charter sum it up:

 

Let ours be time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life.
