OUR POLICIES

Infinite Diversity - Infinite Combinations

A Statement by the EarthLight Foundation: EarthLighters take the immovable and immutable stand that ALL human beings are one species and one family, indistinguishable from one another in terms of value, potential, and rights. We celebrate those differences, variations, and choices each of us makes that lead to our uniqueness within this great family. In perspective, we are one crew on one tiny spaceship floating in the sea of space and therefore MUST offer each other the respect and love of being one family. Further, should we as the family of humanity ever encounter other beings who also inhabit our shared Universe, we shall offer them the same respect and honor we show one another. This is sacrosanct to us, and nothing less shall be tolerated in our interactions with one another, our friends, guests, and any who join us in our events, activities, actions, and celebrations.

Earth and the Environment

As above, EarthLight itself stands for a new and dramatically increased awareness of, and change in, how we understand and care for our MotherWorld. It is central to us that life is to be treasured, no matter where we find it, and that as the stewards of this tiny bubble, it is our job to utilize our knowledge and space technology to both help heal her, even as we carry her seeds to worlds now dead.

So say we All.
