Reflections on sustainability and biodiversity readings
The Earth Charter 1. I would be interested in gaining a better understanding of how the Earth Charter Initiative involved tribes and indigenous communities. As a citizen of a “developed” nation that speaks the prestige language and has benefited from white privilege, I believe it is essential to not only create space for, but also recognize the inherent value that marginalized, underrepresented, indigenous, and minority voices carry. 2. Given the xenophobic turn discourse has taken in this country, I would like to learn more about the opportunities available to move the Earth Charter forward on a local, state, and regional level. Perhaps universities and community colleges could serve as the starting point, especially in areas of the country where economic vitality is perceived to be inextricably linked to fossil fuel extraction. 3. I enjoyed reading about the idea of “common destiny.” It seems that our society has fractured and the focus has shifted from unity to individualism.
