 The 10 commandments of Ecology                rubber

I

You shall love the Lord, your God, and all things as yourself.

II

 You shall not defend nature in vain, not suiting the action to the word.

III

You shall preserve the virgin forests as your life depends on them.

IV

 You shall honor the fauna and flora, all kinds of life, not only human.

V

 You shall not murder.

VI

 You shall not sin against air pureness, allowing industry to pollute what children breathe.

VII

You shall not steal the humus layer of the earth, ploughing it, condemning the soil to barrenness.

VIII

 You shall not bare false witness, affirming profits and progress justify your crimes.

IX

 You shall not wish, on your own advantage, that springs and rivers be poisoned by industrial garbage.

X

You shall not lust for objects and ornaments which production requires landscape destruction: The Earth also belongs to the ones yet to come.
