"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." --Albert Einstein
Fritjof Capra on Nature & Community
"In our science in past centuries, we have learned a lot about the law of gravity and similar laws of physics, but we have not learned very much about the laws of sustainability." In this article, Fritjof Capra (cofounder of the Center for Ecoliteracy in Berkeley, California) discusses what he calls the natural laws of sustainability which he developed from studying natural ecosystems and the ways in which they organize themselves. By uncovering the natural sustainability laws of interdependence, recycling, partnership, flexibility, and diversity, Capra sheds light on how we can create sustainable communities which can "satisfy our needs without diminishing the chances of future generations."

Natural ecosystems rely on interdependence, recycling, partnership, flexibility, and diversity to remain sustainable. Choose one of these principles: how can you work on bringing more of that principle into your daily life?
