7 principles

1. Nature knows best


This is the most basic principle of all the principles featured in this blog. We
humans have to understand nature and follow its rules, because if we want
to ensure a continuous and steady supply of resources, one must not go
against natural processes. If we, humans, caused any disruption in the cycle
of nature, this can bring imbalance to our ecosystem.
2. All forms of life are important
Each organism plays a fundamental role in nature. It is easy to appreciate
the beautiful organisms like butterflies, especially if one knows their
important role in pollination. The giant ones like elephants, the whales, the
alligators – are the ones we respect mixed with fear or wonder and the
products they produce. But when it comes to unlovely, squirmy, and
troublesome creatures, this principle is unusually overlooked.
3. Everything else is connected to everything else
In an ecosystem, all biotic and abiotic components interact with each other
to ensure that the system is sustained. Any intrusion from outside may
cause an imbalance and collapsing of the system.
4. Everything changes
The environment is constantly changing. Organisms also develop through
time. However, with our current technology, we have affected these
natural changes that these changes now causes problematic events to us.
Humans should rethink their relationship with the environment. Because
what we believe that is beneficial to the environment often turn out to be
catastrophic.
5. Everything must go somewhere

6. Ours is a finite earth


Earth’s resources can be classified as either renewable or non-renewable.
Renewable resources are those that can be easily replenished by natural
cycles (e.g. water, air, plants, animals) while non-renewable resources are
those that cannot be replenished through natural cycles. Although
renewable resources can be replenished, it is important to understand that
these are renewable only if they are not overused and not destroyed from
factors such as pollution.
7. Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of god’s creation
Among all creatures, humans are the only ones made in God’s image and
have been given the right to have dominion over all His creations. Being the
most intelligent and gifted with reason, humans are capable of
manipulating creation to their own advantage. Yet, creation exists not to be
ravaged or abused but to be taken care of. Humans cannot exist without
nature. They are co-natural with the environment they live in. If the
environment they live in is destroyed, with it will go Homo Sapiens.
