Trevor Hancock “Being a responsible ancestor means creating a One Planet Region”
We have an ethical duty to future generations and to other species to leave the Earth in a better state than it is now. We also have an ethical duty to the rest of humanity to take no more than our fair share of the Earth’s biocapacity and resources. How do we re-establish a sense of reverence for nature, and once again see the spirit in nature? What does this mean for the place where we live, and what is the role of faith communities in bringing this about?
