Our
Charter
"We are committed to the principle that the needs of current
generations on the Earth must be met without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs. We promote and support the sustainable use
of land, appropriate technologies for production and human settlement and
the development of self-reliant and self-responsible local communities. EarthCare
is a focus and gathering place for people working and learning together to
achieve responsible stewardship of the Earth."
