    Everything is connected to everything else

    Changes in one part of an ecosystem can have widespread effects.

    All life is important

    Every species, no matter how small, plays a vital role in keeping the ecosystem balanced.

    Everything must go somewhere

    Waste doesn't disappear, it needs to be managed to avoid harming ecosystems.

    Ours is a finite earth

    Natural resources are limited, and using them faster than they can replenish leads to scarcity.

    Study Notes

    The Seven Environmental Principles

    • Relationships in ecosystems demonstrate that all elements are interdependent, meaning human actions can disrupt this balance and lead to environmental degradation.

    • Every living organism plays a vital role in its ecosystem, and extinction affects the entire network, similar to removing pieces from a jigsaw puzzle.

    • Waste generated from consumption has to be managed effectively as it impacts the environment; recycling and proper disposal of materials are essential to prevent pollution.

    • Earth's resources are limited; while nature provides an abundance of necessities like food and water, many resources are being consumed faster than they can be replenished.

    • Natural processes work towards ecological balance; human interference can cause negative repercussions, like ecological backlashes, which manifest in events such as flooding from deforestation.

    • The beauty of nature reflects the work of a Creator, and humans have a responsibility as stewards to protect and maintain the environment, acknowledging the damage caused by exploitation.

    • Change is a constant in nature; understanding that everything is in flux is critical for adapting our actions and ensuring sustainability.
