Sustainability Pledge

Recently saw a show on the Food Channel that highlighted an eco-village in Missouri. Dancing Rabbit has as their Sustainability Guidelines the following:
Dancing Rabbit is committed to working in the following ways to make itself a sustainable system.



1. Dancing Rabbit will look holistically at the issues of sustainability to create a sustainable culture that takes into account all impacts of its actions and acts to preserve the Earth for the future.

2. Dancing Rabbit will strive to rely only upon renewable resources, and to use them at a rate less than their replacement.

3. Dancing Rabbit will try to understand and minimize its negative impact on global ecological systems.

4. Dancing Rabbit will attempt to preserve and rebuild healthy ecosystems and have a positive impact on biodiversity.

5. Dancing Rabbit will try to create a closed resource loop where byproducts are reintegrated as useful resources, thus attempting to minimize waste products, especially those toxic or radioactive.

6. Dancing Rabbit will try to avoid exploiting people and other cultures.

7. Dancing Rabbit will strive to achieve negative population growth from reproduction.

Principles and stands we all should follow. A sustainable life, a sustainable planet.
