“Humanity is a biological species, living in a biological environment, because like all species, we are exquisitely adapted in everything: from our behavior, to our genetics, to our physiology, to that particular environment in which we live. The earth is our home. Unless we preserve the rest of life, as a sacred duty, we will be endangering ourselves by destroying the home in which we evolved, and on which we completely depend.”
― Edward O. Wilson

In a sustainable society, nature is not subject to systematically increasing...
1. …concentrations of substances extracted from the Earth’s crust,
2. ...concentrations of substances produced by society,
3. ...degradation by physical means

FSSD SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES
Simply stated, we must not take out of the earth faster than it can regenerate,
or put more into the environment than it can assimilate, or trash our earth faster
than it can rejuvenate, or impede present or future generations abilities to create a thriving future for themselves or
future generations.

"If you wish to fly and want to successfully construct an aircraft, you need to understand the basic principles of aerodynamics. Similarly, if we are serious about ensuring a sustainable future, we need to be guided by a set of principles which underlie sustainability as an enduring state.”
- Michael Ben-Eli
1st Principle: Material DomainContain entropy and ensure that the flow of resources, through and within the economy, is as nearly non-declining as is permitted by physical laws.
2nd Principle: Economic DomainAdopt an appropriate accounting system, fully aligned with the planet’s ecological processes and reflecting true, comprehensive biospheric pricing to guide the economy.
3rd Principal: Domain of LifeEnsure that the essential diversity of all forms of life in the Biosphere is maintained.
4th Principle: Social DomainMaximize degrees of freedom and potential self-realization of all humans without any individual or group, adversely affecting others.
5th Principle: Spiritual DomainRecognize the seamless, dynamic continuum of mystery, wisdom, love, energy, and matter that links the outer reaches of the cosmos with our solar system, our planet and its biosphere including all humans, with our internal metabolic systems and their externalized technology extensions Embody this recognition in a universal ethics for guiding human actions.

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more ‘successful’ people. But it does desperately need more
peacemakers, healers, restores, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little
to do with success as our culture has defined it.”.
