Values
- We acknowledge that the earth, the ecosystem and the natural forces that sustain it, are our life support system. This understanding forms the basis of all that we do.
- We believe that by living sustainably we can help people to achieve a better quality of life by consuming fewer resources – doing better with less.
- We recognise that in order to establish services and projects which are relevant and useful within our community, it is essential to involve local people in planning and carrying out our activities.
- We will strive to ensure that every member of the community has an equal opportunity to take part in the process of change towards a more sustainable society.
- We recognise that in many cases we can achieve more by working in partnership with other organisations.
- We acknowledge that our volunteers, coming from the community of their own volition, and paid workers are Action 21's most valuable resource, whom we shall work to maintain and fully support.
