Abstract: This study explores the thoughts of Yusuf Qardawi about environmental sustainability in an Islamic
perspective on the Maqasid al-Shariah (Objectives of Shariah), then will be linked to environmental issues
in Indonesia. Yusuf al-Qardawi composes his thoughts on environmental conservation by normative
approach. He offers actually the environmental preservation is part of the values contained in protection of
the religion, protection of life, protection of intelect, protection of lineage / progeny, and protection of
property / wealth. The issue has not to be studied yet in depth.
1 INTRODUCTION
Among the interesting issues that attract the
attention of muslim intellectuals and scholars are
environmental problems. there are many
conferences, seminars and meetings are held locally
and internationally. It aims to find ways to conserve
the clean and healthy environment (al-Ba’zawi,
2018). The modern world has led to the culmination
of science in the 17th century (Russel, 2002). The
presence of modern science with its success by
uncovering, and controlling the natural world
(especially through the developed technology) has
raised serious challenges to religious beliefs and
traditional cultural arrangements. Advancement in
the field of science and technology have a positive
and negative impact on human life and environment
(Rahmi, 2015). The nature or environment is very
influential for human survival, because humans
interact with their environment (Marsit, 2015).
Yusuf al-Qardawi is a contemporary mujtahid at
the end of the 2nd millennium that contributed a lot
in the fields of science, thought, da'wah, education
and others. He always tries to spread the teachings
of Islam. In his capacity as a scholar who cares for
the environment, he devotes a lot of his thoughts on
the environment in a work entitled Riayah al-Biah fi
al-Shariah al-Islamiyah. Next, al-Qardawi explains
in his book that maqasid al-shariah which focuses so
far on five primary human, actually has a close
connection with environmental issues (Baroudi,
2016), which means that there is an important role
for Islam in preserving the environment (Darwish,
2017). Starting from here the writer is interested in
studying it in more depth, in order to format a
concept of environmental conservation that is based
on religion taken from the values of the Koran and
Hadith. The author tries to formulate what is the
main problem in this paper:
1. How is the concept of maqasid al-shariah in
environmental conservation according to al-
Qardawi?.
2. What is the relevance with the current efforts
to overcome the environmental crisis?.
This paper consists of six discussions, wich
consists of introduction, analytical framework,
literature review, research methodology, discussion,
and conclusions.
2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 The Maqasid al-Shariah Concept
Not all ulama explain it explicitly, such as imam
al-Shathibi who did not discuss the definition for
maqasid al-shariah (al-Raishuni, 1992). Similarly,
there is no understanding of maqashid syari'ah
according to ushuliyyun and others from the
mutaqaddimin (classic scholars). However, we can

find the understanding of maqasid al-shariah from
some of the scholars of mutaakhkhirin
(contemporary scholars) whom explain the
understanding of maqas}id al-shariah. Among them
is Muhammmad Thahir ibn ‘Ashur (‘Ashur, 1998)
Wahbah al-Zuhaili (al-Zuhaili, 2006) and ‘Alal al-
Fashi (al-Fashi, 1963). They give maqasid al-shariah
understanding with different expressions. But if
understood, the meaning in the phrase is with the
same intent, which is about purpose of Islamic law.
2.2 Environmental Sustainability
Environmental sustainability can be defined as a
condition of balance, resilience, and interconnection
that enables human society to meet its needs while
not exceeding the capacity of its supporting
ecosystem to continue to regenerate the services
needed to meet those needs and by reducing
biodiversity (Morelly, 2011). In this case, the author
associates it with sea wealth that must be
maintained.
2.3 Microplastics
Plastic is the most prevalent type of marine
debris found in our ocean and Great Lakes. Plastic
debris can come in all shapes and sizes, but those
that are less than five millimeters in length (or about
the size of a sesame seed) are called “microplastics”
(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
2018).
Microplastic interacts with biota, including
microorganisms, in these habitats, raising concerns
about its ecological effects (Cormick, 2014).
In terms of production, thermoplastic production
has grown rapidly since the commencement of large-
scale production around the 1950s, reaching 322
million tons / year in 2015 and 335 million tons /
year in 2016 (Plastics Europe, 2017).
3 LITERATURE REVIEW
After Maqasid al-shariah was widely studied like
al-Ghazali or others (al-Ghazali, 2008) (al-Qardawi,
2001), than developed in Shatibi’s era (al-Shatibi,
1997), that focused on five things. In the next of
time, maqasid al-shariah gets much attention now. In
addition, a lot too used in various fields of human
life, such as politics, economics (Norashikin, Mohd
Shukri, 2018). So it is important that this article
made to study the maqasid al-shariah which
discusses the environment. In this case the author
chose al-Qardawiwho is quite representative in the
world of Islam.
4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This research is a library research, studying al-
Qardawi’s thought about maqasid al-shariah in
environmental conservation. This type of data
includes qualitative data (Lexy. J Meleong, 2004)
as the primary data source in this study is al-
Qardawi book by title: riayah al-biah fi al-shariah al-
islamiyah and other sources related to this paper, as
a secondary data source.
This research approach uses content analysis
(Krispendoff, 1993) by means of data collected,
recorded, classified, read, understood, dan cited last
drawn conclusions. Because this article departs from
concepts based on syara texts. After all data have
been collected, then it is classified according to the
category of problems.
5 DISCUSSION
Environmental sustainability in the perspective
of al-Qardawi is always in sync with the objectives
of the shariah (maqasid al-shariah) (Salamah,
Muhammad Khalaf, 2016), because the aim of
upholding the Islamic Shariah is to protect religion,
life, intelect, lineage, and wealth, known as al-
daruriyat al-khams. The experts of usul al-fiqh
mentioned these five things as basic human needs
(al-Qardawi, 2001).
Environment is a sphere in which humans live,
humans live in it, both when traveling and seclusion.
As a place he returns, whether in a willing or forced
state (Murtadha, 2007).
In the Qur'an it is explained that humans were
created as caliphs on earth. The obligation of
humans as caliphs on earth is to maintain and take
care of the earth and everything in it to be managed
properly. In this case the Caliphate as the duty of
Allah to take care of the earth must be carried out in
accordance with the will of its creator and the
purpose of its creation (Nasution, 1992).
The purpose of Allah makes sharia is to preserve
human benefit, while at the same time avoiding
ICRI 2018 - International Conference Recent Innovation
870
damage both in the world and in the hereafter. The
classical scholars have discussed such as al-Shatibi
in his book by title al-Muwafaqat. He divided the
purpose of Islamic law (maqashid al-shariah) into
five things as mentioned above. A contemporary
scholar like Yusuf al-Qardawi develops ideas about
maqashid al-shariah that every part of five things in
maqashid al-shariah has important value in the form
of important concern about environmental
sustainability.
5.1 Environmental Conservation in
Maqasid al-Shariah
Furthermore, the application of primary needs
(al-daruriyah) is a fundamental need that is related in
realizing and protecting the existence of the five
main aspects mentioned above (Saifuddeen, et al.,
2014). If this benefit is lost, then human life can be
destroyed, not saved, both in the world and in the
hereafter (Zaidan, 2018).
It is not a skeptic that preserving the environment
included parts of the five basic human needs (al-
Kailani, 2014). In other side, the maqasid al-hariah
in general are to get benefit, and minimize damage
with all ability, also punish halal for all good and
contain benefits, as well as punish haram for all that
contains haram. From here, it appears that al-
Qardawi tried to establish an environment-based
fiqh (Ghufron, Saharudin, 2007).
The offer of al-Qardawi from usul fiqh view on
environmental preservation can be manifested in two
ways; curative (ijabi) and preventive (salbi).
Curative by maintaining existing existence, while
preventive by taking preventive steps to avoid
unwanted damage (Fre, 2018).
More detail, maqasid al-shariah on
environmental conservation is protection of the
environment is a part of the values in realizing all
five basic elements of primary needs. Than, al-
Qardawi formulates the values implied in maqasid
al-shariah related to the protection of the
environment, that is the existence of humans as
khalifah can carry out its role and function as the
earth's prosperity not the ruler earth. His several
principles of environmental conservation in maqasid
al-shariah are:
1. Protecting the environment is part of protecting of
the religion.
Doing damage to the environment causes the
elimination of the essence of true piety in religion,
damaging human functioning on earth (Salamah,
Muhammad Khalaf, 2016), and violates God's
commands to humans related to God's creations
around him.
The most important of these goals is
safeguarding religion by establishing agreed upon
pillars, and leaving the agreed upon prohibited
things. And protecting religion in this sense is
closely related to the elements of environmental
management created by God, and God takes it to the
benefit of His servants and God wants it to continue,
and warns of efforts to break it or attempt to destroy
it. If people thank God for the blessings of Allah,
Allah adds goodness in the world and in the
hereafter, and if they do transgressions and do
damage then Allah removes blessings. the form of
gratitude for the gift is to make good use of it,
maintain balance, and be careful not to damage or
change authenticity :) as explained in the Qur'an
Surah al-Rum Verse 41.
2. Protecting the environment is part of protecting
of the life.
Health, safety, good life, maintenance of rights
(al-Khayat, 2004) is a reflection of the protection of
the life. While damage to the environment,
pollution, diminishing resources, environmental
balance disruptions can threaten the life cycle. The
Qur'an describes important values in the human life,
the sanctity of living in pre-Islamic religions in
Surah al-Ma’idah, chapter 5, verse 32 (Kashir,
1999). The verse illustrates that the person who
belittles the soul as if he underestimates all other
souls, because there is no difference between souls
and each other.
Islam pays attention to the right to life, because
life is a gift from Allah, and it is not allowed to
violate it, and the nation as a whole is a necessity for
rulers to pay attention to matters relating to the
people, especially the maintenance of the soul and
provide an environment suitable for health.
3. Protecting the environment is part of protecting of
the lifeintellect.
Allah created human reason as a differentiator
from animals. In general, preserving the
environment is protecting people with all their
existence comprehensively; including body, mind
and others. Individuals who don't take care of their
environment are such as those who lose their minds,
Maqasid al-Shariah in Environmental Conservation of Yusuf al-Qardawi’s Perspective
871
not maintained by their thoughts. Allah often
reminds in the Qur'an with the editor “afala ta’qilun”
(then will you not reason?). The preservation of
reason has an important position in Islam (Rane,
2012), this can be seen from the punishment for
khamr drinkers. Because they eliminate the reason,
and cannot distinguish positive and negative things
(Lyvers, et al., 2018).
Protecting of the intellect is important, because
the protection of mind cause of religious obligations.
It is scientifically proven that radioactive
contamination and sound pollution have a serious
and direct effect on the brain cells and may cause
disease. It is scientifically proven that radiation
pollution and sound pollution have a serious and
direct effect on brain cells. It can also be more
quickly affected by the Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a condition that is
characterized by a decrease in memory, decreased
ability to think and speak, and behavior changes in
patients due to disorders in the brain that are
progressive or slowly he quickly gets heat disease
can also be more quickly affected by the disease.
4. Protecting the environment is part of protecting of
the lineage.
Humans develop by breeding (Gould, 1994). The
existence of human life on earth is the will of Allah.
The natural wealth that existsis not to be enjoyed
alone, but is also prepared for the next generation.
Damaging the environment means taking away their
rights. The current generation is obliged to preserve
its environment as a form of responsibility (Brown,
2017).
Protecting generations is part of descent
conservation, human honor and noble descent. to
fulfill this goal in order to achieve a goal, careful
preparation is needed to face the striking challenges
of earth destroyers and environmental polluters that
have been created by Allah, human cloning,
enabling homosexual marriages and so on are
serious challenges to ecological balance. The Holy
Quran considers the destroyers of the earth to have
changed their provisions in the creation of Allah.
5. Protecting the environment is part of protecting of
the property.
In this life Allah creates wealth as a support for
life. Assets are not always cash or gold and silver.
Earth, trees, plants, animals, water, oceans (Abbott,
et al., 2014) and others are assets that must be
protected. Protection of the environment obliges to
preserve it in all forms and kinds of property from
damage, also hand clean air, water and land are the
main contributors to the quality of life in every
society (Turner, et al., 2016). So maqasid al-shariah
here is to protect natural resources, increase
productivity, provide good consumptive direction
and distribution (al-Qardawi, 2001).
Protecting property is a goal that needs to be
carefully guarded because of its close relationship
with environmental protection and the preservation
of its capabilities. Islam is legally obliged to seek
halal (permissible) money from the right ways
according to Islamic religion, and spend it on
himself and his family without reproach or wasteful.
Islam does not justify eating other people's property
except in the right way and obtaining permission for
the owner. The word “property” refers to all his
wealth: land, livestock, animals, trees, cash, etc.,
such as what can be used, such as fish in water, birds
in the air, animals that are not tamed and what can
be obtained, air, light and so on. Islam regulates the
use of God's creation in the universe in a balanced
manner without reducing or excessive, so it does not
violate the rights of future generations and deplete
some of the natural resources available for the
environment.

5.2 Relevance of Environmental
Conservation thought of Yusuf
al-Qardawi in the Concept of
Maqasid al-Shariah for
Environmental Crisis Management
in Indonesia
Since the 1960s in Indonesia, attention to the
environment has been widely discussed in the
media. One of the historical records of the
environment in Indonesia is the National
Management and Development Management
Seminar held by Padjadjaran University in Bandung
on 15-18 May 1972. In Indonesia the seminar was
the first seminar held with the theme of the
environment (Soemarwoto, 2001). One of the
highlights of the 1973 seminar was a maritime
problem (Keraf, 2010). This shows that Islamic
societies in Indonesia uphold their religious
teachings. In accordance with the above thoughts,
Ali Yafie is a Jurist in Indonesia affirming that the
quality of one's faith can be measured, one of which
is the extent to which the person's sensitivity and
concern for environmental sustainability (Yafie,
2006).
To clarify the description of environmental
issues in Indonesia, the authors limit the marine
ecosystem in Indonesia.
There are many studies and reports show that
ocean ecosystem are being disrupted and depleted
with serious consequences. Pollution, habitat loss,
overfishing, pollution, climate change ocean
acidification introduction of non-native species are
serious threats (Portman, Michelle E. Daniel Nathan
and Noam Levin, (2012).
One study shows about 300 million tons of
plastic is manufactured every year, and between 5
and 13 million tons of it ends up in the ocean. This
study calculate that 275 million metric tons (MT) of
plastic waste was generated in 192 coastal countries
in 2010, with 4.8 to 12.7 million MT entering the
ocean. there are two things that affect which
countries largely contribute the greatest mass of
uncaptured waste available to become plastic marine
debris. Those are population size and the quality of
waste management systems. According to this study,
Without waste management infrastructure
improvements, the cumulative quantity of plastic
waste available to enter the ocean from land is
predicted to increase by an order of magnitude by
2025 (Jambeck JR, et al., 2015). In other side,
Thompson’s laboratory predicts that plastic
manufacturing will rise steadily to 33 billion tons by
2050 (Alla Katsnelson, 2015).
Marine wealth is something that must be
maintained together (Rohling, E.J., 2017). The sea
has an urgency for life, if its potential is explored,
the sea can prosper the human race (Stark, Julian
Barbiere, 2018). There are many history record of
the sea has often been used as a commercial route,
even the history of the development of Islam in
nusantara is inseparable from discussions about
maritime (Azra, 2014). The Countries that are far
more advanced also pay high attention to the sea. As
the UK prioritizes sea control, especially
commercial lines such as Giblartar, Malta, and
others (Cox, 2015), The Dutch with their naval
warfare tried to control the road through South
Africa, Ceylon, Jakarta and Ambon (Sanderson,
2008), and the United States after applying the
theory of sea control turned into imperialism trying
to control the Caribbean, Alaska, Panama, Hawai,
the island of Guam, Japan and the Philippines
(Morton, 2014). In addition, the sea has abundant
natural resources, such as oil, natural gas, fisheries,
and tourism (Schwerdtner, et al., 2014).
Indonesia has 17,499 islands from Sabang to
Merauke. The total area of Indonesia is 7.81 million
km2 consisting of 2.01 million km2 of land, 3.25
million km2 of ocean, and 2.55 million km2 of
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), so from that data,
the sea area is 64, 97% of the total territory of
Indonesia (Roza, 2017: Ministry of Marine and
Fisheries of The Republic of Indonesia, 2011).
In the 1945 Constitution article 33 paragraph (3)
states that the earth and water and the natural
resources contained therein are controlled by the
state and used for the prosperity of the people (The
Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia of 1945,
Article 33 Paragraph 3). Then, clarified by law No.
32 of 2014 concerning marine affairs (Law of the
Republic of Indonesia No. 32 of 2014 About the
Sea), as a legal law for regulating Indonesia's marine
use comprehensively and integrated. Therefore, the
role of government (government will) is needed to
be able to maintain and process marine wealth and
potential in Indonesia (Biliana, Robert, 1998).
The Indonesian Sea, which has a wide range of
functions and wealth, must confront diametrically
and frontally with the threat of damage to marine
Maqasid al-Shariah in Environmental Conservation of Yusuf al-Qardawi’s Perspective
873
ecosystems which from time to time become more
apparent and difficult to contain. These threats,
including microplastic (Gabriel, Barbara Carolina,
2015: Sul, Monica F.Costa, 2014), which is in sea
water. Currently, according to M. Reza Cordova
(Researcher of the Indonesian Institute of
Oceanography Research (P2O) Research Institute
(LIPI), that microplastic in Indonesian seawater is
quite large, ranging from 30 to 960 particles / liter.
This amount is equal to the number of microplastic
found in the seawater of the Pacific Ocean and the
Mediterranean Sea, and Indonesia was recently
ranked second as the largest plastic waste producer
in the world. The influence of microplastic can occur
on marine biota, the environment, and on human
health. Microplastic presence in the sea of Indonesia
is like a threat that at any time damages the
ecosystem like in Aceh sea, Riau Islands, Jakarta,
West and East Java. Then, in areas of Eastern
Indonesia such as Bali, Southeast Sulawesi, North
Sulawesi, and Maluku (Cordova, A’an J. Wahyudi,
2016).
Piles of garbage, especially from microplastic on
the coast, are recognized as a threat to marine biota
and threats to the marine environment (Cordova, M.
R., Hernawan, U. E., 2018). Rather, the human
health also becomes threatened if it enters the human
body (Cole, et al., 2015), because the microplastic
content is difficult to decompose (Prata, 2018).
In Indonesia, the role of parents is important to
teach their children to take care of the environment
and the teachers in schools in Indonesia teach
students from childhood to throw garbage in its
place. what has been taught by the teachers and
parents about disposing of garbage in its place will
create a beautiful, clean and healthy environment.
Waste that is scattered uncomfortable is seen as
having the potential to invite disease and potentially
invite natural disasters. For example, one of the
causes of the flood disaster is the obstruction of the
waterway by the amount of blockage from garbage
that is not disposed of in its place. Another reason is
the reduced ability of the soil to absorb rainwater
due to various causes, one of which is due to the
large amount of waste that cannot be decomposed
like plastic waste. In fact there is another way that
can be done to protect the environment to avoid the
impact of waste that is sorting and processing waste.
Garbage is generally divided into two, the first is
organic waste which is indeed produced from natural
ingredients and rapidly decays such as leaves,
vegetables, and food scraps. The second type of
waste is non-decaying, categorized as non-organic
waste, for example plastic, tin, glass, and others.
Plastics need to 100 to 400 years to break down at
the landfill (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
2016).
About garbage designated by the hadith with the
statement: “Allah thank the person who got rid of
the tree that was blocking itthe way, and put that
person into heaven” (Hanbal, 2009). Getting rid of
rubbish is a priority, because there is another hadith
which explains that removing rubbish is included in
one branch of faith. Faith has many branches, the top
of which is the tauhid sentence, and the bottom one
is throwing garbage from the streets. Even though its
position is called the bottom, but it remains in the
box of faith, while the position of faith in Islam is
very important, because it is the foundation of Islam
itself.
When Islam came, Islam affirmed the prohibition
of doing damage on the face of the earth with
various exposures. Among these are those that
strictly prohibit doing damage, Allah says that in
surah al- Qasas verse 77. This is confirmed again to
humans that Allah SWT really does not like humans
who do damage in this world. In this case, Allah
says in surah al-Maidah verse 64. Islam educates
every Muslim to interact well with their
surroundings. That is also mentioned in a Hadith
narrated by Muslims from Shadad bin Aus, The
propet Muhammad says: “surely Allah obliges to do
good for everything” (al-Qardawi, 2001). It means
Allah requires that in truth. Then also mentioned that
Allah has establish affection for Himself, this can be
seen in surah al-An'am verse 54.
As a result of this environmental damage, it has a
very negative impact on the sustainability of human
life in this world which leads to misery and pain. if
needed humans need to reflect on the message of
Muhammad Al-Ghazali in his book "Jaddid
Hayatak” (Renewing Your Life) which states that
changing life must first grow in the soul itself before
everything else. All forms of restraint in carrying out
renewal in life and improvement in your life are
nothing but apart from extending gray times that you
yourself want to break away from and remain in
defeat in the face of neglect and futility (al-Ghazali,
2005).
Islam is the religion of all prophets and
messengers, from Adam to Muhammad which was
revealed by the The Holy Quran to him as the
ICRI 2018 - International Conference Recent Innovation
874
guidance of humanity to reach happiness in the
world and the hereafter. He was decided to the world
as a mercy for all nature and improve human morals.
Islam as a religion for all humanity with its main
source al-Quan and Hadith is very much concerned
about the environment so that Islam equates the
preservation of the environment as well as
maintaining religion, soul, lineage, reason and
wealth. Islam strongly condemns those who make
damage on the face of the earth. Allah explain this
idea in al-Maidah verse 33. So, to live and live
sustainably, humans must learn to understand their
environment and be able to regulate the use of
natural resources in a way that is accountable for the
security and preservation of this nature.
In Islam it is known as Ihsan (friendly / kind)
which means protecting and maintaining it perfectly.
Such a definition can be found in the famous Hadith
of Gabriel that Ihsan is "You must worship God as if
you see him, and if you do not see Him, then He
sees you. Ihsan also means paying attention, loving,
and respecting. Such as those mentioned in the word
of Allah Almighty in surah An-Nisa verse 36. The
two definitions above are in fact needed in the
context of interaction with the environment.
Because, indeed humans must treat the environment
by protecting and protecting it. It is not even human
beings who underestimate, neglect, and destroy. In
addition, humans must treat the environment in a
friendly, caring and compassionate manner (al-
Qardawi, 2001). This is as the friends of the Prophet
Muhammad implement in their lives. Like Abu Bakr
when he wanted to send his troops to Sham under
the leadership of Yazud bin Abi Sufyan, he advised
Yazid ten things so that in the war do not kill babies,
women and elderly people, do not cut fruit trees, do
not burn buildings, do not slaughter livestock except
to eat, do not destroy date trees, do not burn date
tree, don't betray and don't be afraid. Likewise,
Umar bin Khattab, when he saw a horse carrying a
cargo that was beyond its limits, then he called a
freightman then snapped him for his actions.
Yusuf al-Qardawi in his work entitled Riayah al-
Biah fi al-Shariah al-Islamiyah which is translated
into Islam Environmentally Friendly Religion with
Indonesaia language explained that protecting the
environment included maqasid al-shariah.
Safeguarding the environment is the same as
keeping religion (hifddiin) because it is stated in the
word of Allah surah Al-A'raf verse 56. al-Qardawi
also explained that protecting the environment is as
important as protecting the religion, life, intellect,
lineage, and property. Without a clean and healthy
nature, achieving maqasid al-shariah which is five
becomes impossible.
Thus, if it is associated with the thought of Yusuf
al-Qardawi that the article 33 of the 1945
Constitution is not contrary to al-Qardawi’s thinking
about the importance of protecting the environment.
6 CONCLUSIONS
Maqasid al-Shariah is a science that has
developed like other sciences. This knowledge is the
basis for all muslim treatment and being a machine
that moves human activities in order to realize the
public interest, it is to provide benefits and avoid
damage to achieve Allah's pleasure.
Yusuf Qardawi's ijtihad results related to
environmental conservation through maqasid al-
shariah become relevant as a problem solving in the
thick of the current variety of global environmental
issues and crises. In Indonesia for example, the
destruction of nature in various forms, which is then
accompanied by its impact in the form of natural
disasters, whether it is realized or not has threatened
human survival. Therefore, with the principles of
environmental conservation derived from the values
of religious teachings, as initiated by al-Qardawi, it
is expected to foster awareness of the human
mindset the importance of maintaining natural
existence. With the maintenance of natural
existence, it means also to realize the fifth values of
dharuriyat al-khams; that is, protecting of the
religion, the life, developing a level of positive
thinking and minimizing negative thinking,
preparing the future for future generations,
maintaining a balance between human endeavor and
matter in terms of owning, transacting and avoiding
damage.
