The Commons

What we mean by "The Commons" are those parts of human ecology that sustain us - water, air and land. These commons must be protected by a responsible society for the safety and benefit of all. We must ensure the health and sustainability of the commons using the precautionary principle to guard against short-sighted exploitation.

The idea of the commons is also extended to social justice for all, and includes equal access to education, healthcare, shelter, and the justice system.
