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.
