PREFACE - This page is an evolving document. Expect it to expand over time. Eventually, it may be subdivided into various Resource Category Pages ranging from practical political issues to philosophical or theoretical perspectives.

Here you can interact with a full Web of Information dealing with Action Alerts specific to your interests to contacting public officials to researching alternative ways to sustain life to finding recommended readings.

Feel free to contribute your ideas by sending a message to the Webmaster. Please include a brief outline or synopsis of any recommendations you make. If you find links that have expired, please let the webmaster know.

The following are intended to assist those seeking to understand and participate in building a new paradigm based on the Green Party’s foundational Ten Key Values and the principles of Balanced Living, defined here as living cooperatively, without demanding more than you can reasonably consume, and recognizing that there are complex strands connecting all humans to each other and to the other creatures with whom we share this world. Even though we may not be able to directly perceive those connections, we accept that all of us are integral to the balanced functioning of the planet and in sustaining life as we know it.
