Values & Principles

Speakers cover ethics and sustainability, environmental values and principles, sustainability and spirituality, and various issues rooted in humanitarian values, such as environmental justice, the rights of indigenous peoples, and the prevention of cruelty to animals.

Ethics & Sustainability. There is clearly an important relationship between ethics and both protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development for the world's poor. More >>

Spirituality, Religion & Sustainability. The sustainability crisis we face is also a crisis of hope, of faith in the future. In involves, at the deepest level, the meaning of our lives. See Duane Elgin, Roger Gottlieb, Mark Dubois, and Gwen Hallsmith.

Environmental Justice. Defined as the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, and incomes with respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies, environmental justice is a growing concern of advocates of justice generally. See Mark Van Putten, Dune Lankard, Tom Goldtooth, Mark Dubois, and Rob Verchick.

Animal Protection. The awareness that animals feel pain and that cruelty to animals is morally unjustifiable is seen by many as a natural corollary of environmental stewardship. See Rae Sikora and Jim Motavalli.
