1. One Focus on Human Interaction with the Environment
BEC addresses people and the environment together, to achieve harmony. There is no social or political agenda. Just an essential focus on engaging people in a culture of sustainability, to create a unified human-environmental system.
2. One Table to Welcome Everyone
BEC welcomes everyone to its forums. Participation is democratic, and ideas are freely given. There is no lobbying for certain points of view. People can have different beliefs, but in a BEC discussion they find areas in which they can cooperate to address sustainability together.
3. One Region – With Urban-Rural Coordination
In cities, resources flow between urban and rural parts. In some cities, rural areas provide resources but receive pollution and waste in return. Positive flows – investment, communication etc. – should replace these. BEC promotes urban-rural coordination to balance urban-rural benefits. Both areas can achieve sustainability together.
