How can we celebrate the upcoming holidays without compromising our values? Sometimes it seems that holidays are all about consuming - whether it's eating too much turkey or shopping for gifts made in sweatshops overseas. New traditions can open the doors to profound changes in the way we live. Let's get together and share our ideas!  The Earth Charter is a courageous, boldly optimistic vision of the world we want to live in... a declaration of interdependence... a statement of values and principles for a peaceful, just, sustainable future.  Read and endorse the Earth Charter at www.earthcharter.org
