The Earth Charter is what many of us like to call the "Declaration of Inter-Dependence". It is an international document which hopes to be a guide to living an ethical, sustainable lifestyle. If you would like to read and endorse the Earth Charter in over 25 different languages, or would like more information on the international front, visit www.earthcharter.org.

To find out what's happening in the United States and to download information about becoming a facilitator for the Earth Charter, go to www.earthcharterusa.org. And to find out where the heart of the Earth Charter in our neighborhoods is at, visit the Earth Charter Community Alliance (ECCA) site, which is the home of the Earth Charter Summits and other grassroots initiatives... you'll find it at www.earthchartersummits.org.

In the pages of our site you'll find information about what we are doing as a community in order to further the goals and visions of the Earth Charter, what events we will be participating in, and local initiatives that fit with our principles and guidelines. You will also find some links to other local groups of interest.
