Eight-Point Deep Ecology Platform

I do agree with the principles.
I think Point 8 might the hardest for people: "Those who subscribe to the foregoing points have an abligation directly or indirectly to participate in the attempt to implement the necessary changes."

I think a lot of people knows the importance of a balanced ecosystem but not aware what actions they can take to maintain it. (or how some of their actions may harm it).
It is especially hard if the community you live in doesn't subscribe to this belief. It is easier for people to start changing their lifestyle when they see that everyone around them make the changes too. Conversely, it is really hard to make changes when everything around seems to go against it.

This is true- where we really need to focus on planting the seeds of change is middle america!
