The Environment Sector of the Charter for Compassion includes individuals and partner organizations that have passion and compassion for the Earth and all the life that inhabits our planet and interconnects with the whole of the Universe. Whether it’s eco-economy, growing eco-municipalities, actively reducing our carbon footprint, promoting healthy agriculture and food production, respectful treatment of animals, healthy land management, restoring lands using Indigenous wisdom, fair distribution of scarce resources, fighting for human and civil rights - they all serve to enhance our human stewardship for the planet and all Her sentient life.

The vision and mission of the Environment sector of the Charter for Compassion speaks to the responsibility we have to be stewards of our planet and the actions we undertake to guarantee justice for all living things.

Our Vision: All humans taking responsibility for the thriving of Mother Earth.

Our Mission: Galvanize and support compassionate actions that honor and sustain the web of life.

Today...we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.   ~Pope Francis

Re-Awakening Reverence for Mother Earth

Respect and gratitude – two key components to any healthy relationship. Our relationship with the natural world should be no different. The Environment Sector of the Charter for Compassion seeks to remind each of us that respect for our planet and gratitude for the gifts She provides for us should be at the forefront of our minds on a daily basis.

As you review the material in the hyperlinks to the right, please take special note of our newest initiative, The Compassion Tree Project – an audacious 10 year goal to plant 7.7 billion trees. Be sure to plant your trees in the spirit of compassion, then, share your tree-planting story with us and add your count to ours! Of special note there are three additional Charters that are endorsed by the Charter for Compassion – The Earth Charter, The Green World Charter and the Charter for Animal Compassion.

Looking for a way to serve the planet? We are in search of folks willing to serve as volunteers on the Environment Sector Task Force. Please contact Kate@charterforcompassion.org to express your interest in serving.

Become an Environment Sector Partner

The Charter for Compassion serves as a network which connects and encourages communication among the many and varied initiatives focusing on the compassionate treatment of our planet - Mother Earth.

We ask those who are interested to affirm the Charter and become a Partner. Please join us in the sharing of ideas, plans, and actions with others who are also promoting compassionate action for our Mother Earth.

If the leaders won’t lead, the politicians won’t listen, and corporations won’t care, we the people can.
