While reading The Earth Charter, I found many connections between the documents and what we have learned during Colloquium. The Charter's entire vision is to create a sustainable environment, which correlates completely with the goal of the Colloquium course.
According to The Earth Charter website, their mission is to: "Promote the transition to sustainable ways of living and a global society founded on a shared ethical framework that includes respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, universal human rights, respect for diversity, economic justice, democracy, and a culture of peace."
I believe that the Earth Charter is realistic for individuals but maybe not necessarily as an entire nation. In this case, I think that patience is a virtue and in time this can be spread nation-wide.
