Environmental Pledge

I WILL RESPECT ALL LIVING THINGS, AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT on which they depend, and supports life on earth.

I WILL NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT or degrade the quality of our air, soil or water by the improper disposal of waste: and I will otherwise set an example of good conservation conduct at home, at school and at work by recycling , reusing and reducing waste.

I WILL PROTECT COASTAL RESOURCES including the beaches, cays, coral reefs, wetlands and sea grass beds, which are vital to our fisheries and to our survival from storms and hurricanes. I will help to keep them free of pollution and avoid the use of inappropriate fishing methods such as dynamiting, chemicals and spear fishing.

I WILL ACTIVELY SUPPORT WATERSHED MANAGEMENT & RE-AFFORESTATION programmes. I commit myself to planting and nurturing trees and shrubs so as to enjoy the myriad benefits of their existence in our "Land of Wood and Water".

I WILL NOT BUY OR SELL endangered animals or plants or the products derived from them. I will exercise my rights as a consumer to support products, which do not cause environmental damage and boycott products associated directly or indirectly with environmental damage.

I WILL CONSERVE NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES including fossil fuels and minerals. I will use renewable resources including forest products, water and marine resources, no faster than their ability to regenerate themselves.

I WILL STRIVE TO MAKE SUSTAINABLE USE of our natural environment so that no species will be threatened or disappear because of my actions, and I will strive to protect all species particularly those that are rare, threatened or endangered.

I WILL CALL ATTENTION TO CASES OF POLLUTION and other abuses of nature caused by environmentally inappropriate policies, projects, commercial processes or products.

I WILL RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT WHEREVER IN THE WORLD I GO, join environmental groups ,societies, and actively support the defense of nature by others, including official and organized groups.
