The 2010 Commandments

I just wonder, if we had a True Religious Leader alive today, what their commandments to mankind might be? Perhaps...

1. One Size Does Not Fit All: If everyone tries to use the same solution to a problem, unsatisfactory outcomes result.

2. Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle.

3. Think About Your Every Action: be mindful of what everything you do, does in turn to others.

4. Look at the Trees. They are beautiful, and will solve many of your problems, if allowed to take back much of the land you stole from them.

5. Money is Not Everything. In fact, Money is Not Anything.

6. You Are Not God. Look to nature and simplicity to solve your problems. Completely unnatural things tend to have repercussions, and you are not aware enough to see them all coming...

7. You are Amazing! But not so Amazing that you're worth ruining the Planet for. You are not more important than a whole species, of which perhaps 80 are going extinct per day. (Calculated from here)

8. Efficiency, Common Sense, and Fairness are the Keys. If you must have a car, have a small efficient one, and use it as little as possible. Share what you can afford to; judge what you really need carefully.

Perhaps another two to follow later...! Another 2002 almost certainly not!
