Earth Charter deals with
the respect and care for the community of life and says, “Respect Earth and
life in all its diversity.” In other
words, “recognize that all beings are interdependent and every form of life
have value regardless of its worth to human beings.” I would compare this to our first field trip
me took to CREW. Our guide talk about
the plant diversity in CREW and how all the different habitats worked together.

Principle 2 of the Earth
Charter deals with ecological integrity and says, “Protect and restore the
integrity of Earth’s ecological systems, with special concern for biological
diversity and the natural processes that sustain life.” I would compare this to our most recent field
trip to Echo. At ECHO, we learned about
the importance of protecting and restoring and some very easy ways to do just
that.
Principle 3 of the Earth Charter deals with social and economic justice and says, “Eradicate poverty as an ethical, social, and environmental imperative.” I would compare this to FGCU and how we learned about why FGCU is where it is. FGCU promotes sustainability and has courses in place to teach its students the importance of it.

Principle 4 of the Earth
Charter deal with democracy, nonviolence, and peace and says, “ Strengthen
democratic institutions at all levels, and provide transparency and
accountability in governance, inclusive participation in decision making, and
access to justice.” I would compare this
to A Land Remembered. This is because
the characters in the book had to deal with the tolerance of different
cultures.
