LESSON 1: SEVEN (7) ENVIRONMENTAL PRINCIPLES

This section highlights the basic environmental principles. We need to learn about our eco-
system because this is the only way we can protect and take care of our planet and take
action on our environmental problems.

1. Nature Knows Best

Any disruption in the cycle can bring about imbalance, our nature knows everything,
sometimes, it knows what is best for us.

2. All forms of life are important

ered as invaluable in the maintenance of our ecosystem

3. Everything is connected to everything else

All biotic and abiotic components in the ecosystem interact with each other to ensure
that the system is perpetuated.

4. Everything changes
Our world is consistently changing and nothing is permanent anymore.

5. Everything goes somewhere

When a piece of something is thrown away, it disappears from sight but it does not
cease to exist, it ends up elsewhere.

6. Ours is a finite earth

The resources that we have on earth are limited.

7. Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of God’s creation

Among all creatures, humans are the only ones made in God’s image and have been
given the right to have dominion over all His creations.
