We realize that the importance of diversity is related to our awareness that it is in itself an intrinsic value. A diversity of intrinsic values is itself a form of abundance that we treasure for its own rich sake. The platform principles of the deep ecology movement, as formulated by Naess and Sessions and often reprinted in The Trumpeter and elsewhere, have been endorsed by diverse groups and individuals. Using Naess' terminology we do not call people who support the platform principles, deep ecologists, nor people who support the Shallow Ecology Movement principles shallow ecologists. Many support and practice nonviolence.
Supporters welcome diversity and encourage it to flourish.
Some us us will put most of our energies into one or another of these three broad movements. This is fine, since we need all three. We also need work on every level from reflections on values and wisdom to cleaning up a beach or doing social service work. Arne Naess calls his personal philosophy Ecosophy-T, rumored to be named after his hut Tvergastein . Quite a number of theorists have followed this approach and have developed ecosophies similar to Naess'.
