We believe in respect, compassion and service for our environment. These are the pillars which guide our work and that of our partners.
Respect
The planet is worthy of our respect. Through nature we are nourished throughout our lives. The sun and rains produce food for consumption, the trees create oxygen for us to breath. Other natural elements create and maintain a natural equilibrium that sustain our lives. We are visitors to the planet for a short period of time, it is therefore our duty to be respectful of the long-standing natural eco-systems in the world and act in a way to minimise our disruption to them.
Compassion
That the natural world is in a state of distress should be a cause for concern to all world citizens. As Hindus, compassion is a central tenet of our daily lives. This sense of compassion should extend beyond our direct lives into the wider world. By developing a sense of concern and compassion towards the ecological problems facing the planet, our practice of dharma will be more wholesome.
Service
A manifestation of Hindu life is seva, or service. This may be to God, our family or community. We believe service should also extend to the betterment of our natural world. By serving the planet in this way, we can help ensure a healthy environment for both current and future generations.
