Earth Charter USA comprises people from all walks of life who embrace the

values in the Earth Charter and who seek to make these values a blueprint

for a sustainable way of life in this country. An Earth Charter USA Network

advances the Charter in cooperation with the Secretariat which is based at

The Center for Respect of Life and Environment, an affiliate of The Humane

Society of the U.S., in Washington, DC. Earth Charter USA relies on this

network of Earth Charter Facilitators to introduce the Earth Charter to

their communities. These individuals also represent key sectors of society

including: business, religious and spiritual groups, the academic community,

citizen`s groups, labor groups, professional associations, the media, and

many others.



These efforts of involved and committed individuals will popularize and

build support for the Earth Charter as a guide towards a sustainable future.

A `people`s movement` will spring up around the Charter which will provide

enough political support for endorsement of the Earth Charter by the United

Nations.
