This collective follows these principles:
Non-Profit - The collective does not seek economic benefit
- Any surplus funds of the initiative are used to help pursue its goals instead of distributing them to owners or shareholders.
Reproducible - The initiative is easily visible to anyone, providing the necessary online material
- The initiative has transparent procedures and results
- The initiative allows others to copy and adapt their procedures and materials, probably using Creative Commons licenses for them
Reinforcing the Ecology Commons - The natural environment: forests, oceans, the Moon
Grassroots - The initiative follows collective decision-making procedures for tackling most issues
- The hierarchical structure is minimal or inexistent. That is, horizontal grassroots discussions of the members have a major weight when compared with vertical instructions from the board
