Principle # 1
Nature knows best.
Ang kalikasan ang mas nakakaalam.

There exists in nature mechanisms that tend to maintain a steady state despite shifting in the components of the system.
Principle of HOMEOSTASIS
“check and balance”

Any disruption of the natural processes/cycles would have detrimental
effects on the environment.

Genetically modified organism (GMO)
• or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are generally known as recombinant DNA technology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the expression of modified or novel traits.

• by molecular biologist and endocrinologist Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini, co-director of the Risk Quality and Sustainable Environment Unit at the University of Caen, France.
Researchers found that rats fed on a diet containing NK603 Roundup tolerant GM corn, or given water containing Roundup at levels permitted in drinking water and GM crops in the US, died earlier than rats fed on a standard diet. They suffered mammary tumors and severe liver and kidney damage.

The only thing constant is change
Environmental Principle No. 4 - CHANGE

Cyclic, linear and random change have shaped the natural world.
HUMAN activities have superimposed on these changes
![Page 26: ESI Plenary Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051208/546c82aeaf7959f4098b4b93/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Linear changes may be
accelerated by human activities.
• Erosion is natural• Accelerated by• - deforestation
- mining- illegal logging- improper logging- conversion to large scale agricultural use
![Page 27: ESI Plenary Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051208/546c82aeaf7959f4098b4b93/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Extinction is natural• Accelerated by
- habitat loss
- over-extraction / hunting- pollution- introduction of alien species
- clear-cutting of forest- destruction of coral reefs, mangroves & seagrasses
![Page 28: ESI Plenary Presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051208/546c82aeaf7959f4098b4b93/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cumulative result of human activities:
Global warming = Climate Change

Be a model - Live a Simple Life
• Use less, buy less• Buy products that are natural, have
less packaging and made of renewable resources.
• Recycle what you can; if you can’t, sort out for others who can.
BE ADVOCATES >>>• Tell developers, politicians and
authorities to protect watersheds (forests) and natural sea defenses (mangroves and coral reefs) and our food supply (farmlands) (HES);
• Encourage industries in your areas to re-use or treat wastes and produce non-pollutive products.

Western Cosmology:
• The Earth and Universe are totally material; it does not have “spirit”. It is not part of our psycho-spiritual culture
• Things that cannot be explained by scientific experiment is not “reality”; believing in unseen beings is superstition.
• Western economics, law and ethics function out of this reality. Morality is concerned with behavior only toward God and fellowman. Treatment of the earth has not generally been considered a moral issue.

How can you buy or sell the sky,
The warmth of the land?
The idea is strange to us.
If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water,
How can you buy them?
Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. . .

Such an arrogance to speak of owning
the land
When you shall be owned by it
How can you own that which will
