Energy Fact #6

Each degree you dial up your thermostat above 72 degrees reduces your cooling bill by approximately three percent.

Land Fact #3

Trees properly placed around buildings reduce air pollution. This, in turn, reduces air conditioning needs by about 30 percent and can save 20-50 percent in energy used for heating.

Transformation of Systems

Earth Charter is about the Transformation of Systems; It is not about addressing symptoms only.

Examples: Community Based Systemic Change

1.       Local Currencies

2.       ShoreBank Pacific

3.       Model ordinances that declare citizens’ rights to protect their water, local economy and ways of life.  Citizens cite the Declaration of Independence, international law, state law conferring rights on citizens and the general rights of human beings to govern themselves and take care of their own communities.

4.       Land Trusts

5.       Community Development Corporations

6.       Independent Business Alliance—BALLE

7.       Relocalization of Food Production

8.       Alternative Energy Initiatives

9.       Earth Charter Community Indicators

10.   Creating & Reclaiming the Commons
