ELF Trust Declaration, 19th June, 1993 as registered with the Inland Revenue 10th Dec, 1999
PREFACE
This Declaration of Trust made on the 21st of September 1992 and re-written on the 19th. June 1993, recognises the Earth as a centre of development for life as we know it.
This Declaration of Trust made on the 21st of September 1992 and re-written on the 21st September 2014, recognises the Earth as a centre of development for biological life as we know it.
Each signatory to this trust recognises that whilst individual conciousness is aligned to the corporeal body
Each signatory to this trust recognises the Earth (planet) as a sphere of development for life (life as in consciousness ~ not the maintenance of our bodies corporate through consumption and killing, although also the later).
Our capacity for development and education being ensured by the variety of forms within our knowledge. Destruction of any form is to be considered carefully due to the possible loss of variety and possible stagnation.
As capacity for development and education is fed by the array of forms within the knowledge, destruction of any form bringing a depletion to this array is to be avoided. Hence actions are to be considered carefully due to the possible loss of variety and consequent degradation to the array each lives .

The persons overleaf listed in the schedule have the following aims:
1) To satisfy energy requirements in an increasingly ecological manner, e.g.
Growing of our food organically.
Producing fuel for heating and cooking.
Increasing the energy efficiency of housing.
Electricity generation for modern technology
Self-sufficient recycling to replace waste disposal
Consideration to clothing and transportation,
Self education to predominate teaching.
- Growing food organically.
(The criteria around food production is reduction in use: Large scale monoculture ~ especially where that includes the application of growth enhancers, plant and animal deterrents such as weed killers,insecticides, pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Avoidance of animal use due to exploitation of their freedom to roam.)
- Producing fuel for heating and cooking.(Generally a reduction in consumption of resources. This may include wood, gas from waste, solar heat ovens, underfloor heating from heat exchangers.)
- Increasing the energy efficiency of housing.
- Electricity generation for modern technology
- Self-sufficient recycling to replace waste disposal
- Consideration to clothing and transportation
- Self education to predominate teaching
To be increasingly ecological, continuous focus on reduction is the key, and care must be taken not to see alternatives as a method for sustainability.
2) To apply a system of forest agriculture for the above where possible.
i.e.
a) Set aside 1/3 of the land exclusively for other fauna flora
b) Creating a buffer zone of minimally managed land, between a) and land used for agriculture, ancillary work and residence. Ex crops managed once a year or less frequently i.e. reeds, coppice, forestry
c) Use 1/3 of the land for organic vegetation for human consumption and use.
