In all our community interactions, we affirm that human beings have the potential to be good, loving, worthy, and cooperative. We recognize the inherent value of all generations, and we encourage exchange and interaction between them. In particular, a reconnection needs to be made between the community elders and the very young on a continuing basis. Strong communities provide space for freedom, creativity, and social innovation to flourish, and they have a low incidence of crime. We recognize that defining a community by opposition to outsiders or other communities is obsolete and self-defeating.
Healthy communities are free of racism, sexism, and parochialism.
Thus we will work toward Green, multicultural communities free of class distinctions. We support the activities of an effective global organization that will encourage the development of such a community. The basis of a healthy community is the nurturing of a healthy ecosystem. Green communities are supported by the implementation of land trusts, intentional communities, shared ownership, and other alternatives to traditional individual land and property ownership. We insist on strict control through community action, to reduce or eliminate all forms of pollution, including noise pollution, for the health and well-being of all community members.
