The Green Gene Vow

I vow to live by Earth's rhythm
To slow down
To eat with the seasons
To walk lightly
To listen before acting
To honour soil, silence, and sky
To welcome joy without greed
To create without harm, and prosper with care
To love what is simple,
and shed what is not
To remember - that I belong not above the Earth,
but as part of her body.

• A gene is a segment of DNA that carries heriditry information.
• A green gene metaphorically represents your ecological memory, the ancestral knowledge of your connection to earth.
