    Seven Environmental

    Principles
    Environmental Advocacy
    - Awareness
    Propels us into action
    Think and reflect on our actions as most of
    the problems are human-induced or
    anthropocentric
    7 Environmental Principles
    Provide lenses to look at the emerging need to
    address issues and propel us to immediate
    actions.

    ➔ Fundamental Principles
    Core messages and concepts

    ➔ Guide for (Individual) Action


    Provides a perspective for action

    ➔ Easy to understand ecological


    concepts
    Not too scientific as to overwhelm us with
    too much info but easy enough to grasp the
    basic concepts
    Environmental Principle 1:
    Nature Knows Best
    What is it about?
    There are natural flows and
    systems in nature and, it has
    its own way of balancing
    and sustaining life.
    Environmental Principle 2: All
    forms of life are important
    What is it about?
    The ecosystem can be likened
    to a huge jigsaw puzzle with
    pieces that fit perfectly well to
    create a beautiful picture.
    Taking one piece out will
    make the jigsaw incomplete
    and that gap will affect the
    whole picture’s beauty and
    purpose.
    Environmental Principle 3:
    Everything is connected to
    everything else What is it about?
    Nature is in itself a system where
    a group or community of
    organisms interact with each
    other. Thus, we refer to it as an
    “ecosystem.” The relationships
    among various elements in nature
    vary from simple to complex.
    But, they all function as one.
    Environmental Principle 4:
    Everything Changes
    What is it about?
    Change occurs naturally in
    our environment, but some
    changes occur at an
    alarming rate that poses a
    danger to life on earth- such
    is the case of climate
    change.
    Environmental Principle 5:
    Everything Must Go
    Somewhere
    What is it about?
    Everything has a destination
    and a place to go to
    regenerate its use- such is
    the order of life on earth.
    Environmental Principle 6:
    Ours is a finite earth
    What is it about?
    Our earth has a finite or
    limited resource- we should
    be able to operate in such a
    way that we are able to put
    the resources to good and
    efficient use.
    Environmental Principle 7:
    Nature is beautiful, and we are
    stewards of God’s creation
    What is it about?
    We exploit nature because
    we think that we have
    dominion over them. But,
    nature is left to our
    temporary care, we are its
    stewards and we have to
    sustain its life-giving
    purpose as how our God
    wills it.
    To be able to sustain life on earth, we
    should be able to preserve and
    protect it from destruction- it
    demands our immediate action to
    work together and save the only
    place we call HOME.
