The Earth University teaches Earth Democracy, which is the freedom for all species to evolve within the web of life, and the freedom and responsibility of humans, as members of the Earth family, to recognize, protect, and respect the rights of other species. Earth Democracy is a shift from anthropocentrism to ecocentrism. And since we all depend on the Earth, Earth Democracy translates into human rights to food and water, to freedom from hunger and thirst.
Earth democracy is based on earth centered and community centered knowledge systems. Living knowledge is knowledge that maintains and renews living processes and contributes to health of the planet and people. @drvandanashiva @NavdanyaInt @SwarajAnna @occupytheseed pic.twitter.com/zn9018jQGZ

Earth democracy connects people in circles of care, cooperation and compassion instead of dividing them through competition and conflict. Earth democracy globalizes compassion, not greed, and peace, not war. @drvandanashiva #earthdemocracy @NavdanyaInt @SwarajAnna @occupytheseed pic.twitter.com/qZcRTkxtvr

#EarthDemocracy is a new vision for a #PlanetaryCitizenship, where #EcologicalResponsibility & #EconomicJustice, based on the #LawOfReturn, are central to creating a liveable future @drvandanashiva https://t.co/q6WfrfGO0uhttps://t.co/5Ja4DD0cKj

We are all members of the Earth community. We all have the duty to protect the rights and welfare of all species and all people. No humans have the right to encroach on the ecological space of other species & other peoples. @drvandanashiva @occupytheseed @NavdanyaInt @SwarajAnna pic.twitter.com/V6u2RyCgNz
