Environment

The URI Charter commits us “to create cultures of peace, justice and healing for the Earth and all living beings," and to “act from sound ecological practices to protect and preserve the Earth for both present and future generations."

We understand this to mean living in peaceful relationship with the natural world, behaving justly within the human family and the larger community of life, and working to heal damage done to the earth’s ecological systems and defend them against still greater harm in the future.

We are actively exploring ways to realize these commitments more fully, both globally and locally. This includes speaking as one global voice on issues that affect the entire planet, as well as supporting environmental action by Cooperation Circles in their own locations.
