The Earth Charter is a document that I think should be printed throughout the world, in every library, every school, and every place where people across the universe can read about what should be done in order to obtain a sustainable life for all of us and our planet. Reading the Earth Charter gave me a lot of insight on what is expected and what is to be done in order to achieve what we need. I think that principle #4, which states to secure earths bounty and beautiful for present and future generations is a good example because the more we can do now the more benefits our children will have in the future. We need to propose these ideas to everyone and eventually start working on them one by one. In relation to our class discussions I can definitely understand why the Earth Charter is related to our Colloquium class. Sustaining our planet, learning to use our resources gradually, and understanding the affects that our behavior is having on our environment all is talked about in the Earth Charter. Respect and care for our community is what we learned in class by having to do at least 10 hours of community service. Teaching us to help out in our own community can maybe make a difference as our earth as a whole. Creating peace in our country along with the world is also what we have discussed in class. violence are not necessary to obtain anything that we are trying to. Peace and harmony are what is needed and by creating this we can build a road to a happier future. The charter needs to be passed by the government in order to take full affect so the quicker it gets out there, the quicker we can begin working on these issues. In my opinion, I do feel that the Earth Charter is realistic to some extent. Maybe not all of it can be achieved but definitely some parts are attainable. This charter may not make its way around the world but when it comes to our country I feel that there is hope. Even if we break it down to states and even smaller to cities, we have to start somewhere. Educating our piers and letting people know what it may take is the first step towards success.
