Ecological
Wisdom. The Greens recognize that the
Earth sustains all life processes. Green ecology moves
beyond environmentalism by understanding the common
roots of the abuse of people. Whatever we do to the web
of life, we do to ourselves.
Social
Justice.
Greens want to replace the worldwide system of poverty
and injustice with a world free of all oppression based
on class, gender, race, citizenship, age, or sexual
orientation.
Grassroots
Democracy.
The
powerless suffer the most from resource depletion and
toxic pollution. Greens believe in direct participation
by all people in the environmental, political, and
economic decisions that affect their
lives.
Nonviolence. Greens reject violence as a way of
settling disputes -- it is shortsighted, morally wrong,
and ultimately self-defeating. We are working to create
a world where war is
obsolete.
Decentralization.
Power
and responsibility must be restored to local communities
within an overall framework of ecologically sound and
socially just values and lifestyles.
