“ THE EARTH CHARTER-OUR VIEW”

THE EARTH TODAY HAS MANY PROBLEMS, SUCH AS DEVASTATIONS, EXTINTION OF ESPECIES, POLUTTION.

POVERTY IS GETTING WORSE AND ALSO THE INJUSTICE AND VIOLENCE.

SO, THE ‘EARTH CHARTER´, WHICH IS A DOCUMENT,WAS MADE TO PROVIDE JUSTICE TO PEOPLE AND NATURE. IT´S BASED ON HUMAN RIGHTS, ETHICS AND LAW, TRYING TO REACH PEACE.

ABOUT IT´S HISTORY…

-          THE NEW ONE WAS CREATED IN 1987

-          IN 1994 IT HAD THE SUPPORT OF THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT

-          IN 1997, THE EARTH CHARTER COMISSION WAS FORMED

THE NICE THING ABOUT IT, IS THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD CAN READ THE CHARTER AND PARTICIPATE IN MEETINGS.

COUNTRIES LIKE BRAZIL, USA, ARMENIA, ITALY, COSTA RICA AND SPAIN ARE ONLY SOME OF THEM.

SOME DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS

THE YOUTH:

NOT ONLY ADULTS CAN PARTICIPATE…YOUNG PEOPLE CAN TOO!

YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS BRING THE EARTH CHARTER TO OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE, TO SPREAD IT AND MAKE TEENAGERS, FOR EXAMPLE, MORE CONSIOUS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND HOW CAN THEY HELP.

SO, THIS CHARTER IS NICE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THE WORLD´S PROBLEMS AND KNOW WHAT CAN THEY DO ABOUT IT. IF EVERYBODY DID SOMETHING, MAYBE THE

WORLD CAN GET AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT BETTER!!
