| | ARC - Faiths and ecology - Jewish Faith Statement |
 | | Principles were set forth for protecting the public domain, be it those areas “owned” by the public or areas, such as the ozone layer that protects us from the harmful rays of the sun, that belong to no one but serve all. |
 | | Jewish legal sources contain extensive discussion of the environmental issues that concern modern society, and point the way to protection against smoke, odors, pollution of air and water, and damage to the natural landscape. |
 | | The basic principles of environmental protection, and the actions that flow from these principles, are based upon scripture, and upon the reasons proposed for various commandments. |
