The Ten Commandments of Mother Earth

[Not to replace the Ten Commandments but to complement them.]

I. Thou shalt love and honor the Earth for it blesses thy life and governs thy survival.

II. Thou shalt keep each day sacred to the Earth and celebrate the turning of its seasons.

III. Thou shalt not hold thyself above other living things nor drive them to extinction.

IV. Thou shalt give thanks for thy food, to the creatures and plants that nourish thee.

V. Thou shalt limit thy offspring for multitudes of people are a burden unto the Earth.

VI. Thou shall not kill, nor waste Earths riches upon weapons of war.

VII. Thou shalt not pursue profit at the Earths expense but strive to restore its damaged majesty.

VIII. Thou shalt not hide from thyself or others the consequences of thy actions upon the Earth.

IX. Thou shalt not steal from future generations by impoverishing or poisoning the Earth.

X. Thou shalt consume material goods in moderation so all may share the Earth's bounty.
