1. Minimize energy and matter through-puts in production of any good or service
2. Minimize present "stock" of goods necessary to fulfill demand (durability)
3. Increase energy and matter efficiency (attaining same end-use with less e/m input)
4. Turn wastes into inputs; maximize re-use of stocks, minimize use of previously un-used stocks
5. Create & use clean technologies (prevent pollution)
6. Design structures for reversibility

1. Provide information about sustainability
2. Promote interdisciplinary problem-solving research and education
3. Encourage environmental research
4. Demonstrate and publicize that sustainability works
5. Make resources dependencies observable, not hidden
6. Create indicators of sustainability
7. Monitor changes indicators of sustainability
8. Publicly report such changes
9. Hold oneself accountable for such changes
10. Encourage open flow of information among sectors regarding sustainability and its relation to other social issues.

1. Safeguard environmental health and safety of all members of community
2. Uncertainty and risk should require the precautionary principle: Demonstrate (scientifically) low likelihood of harm before undertaking potentially harmful activities!
3. Follow a public health (prevention) approach to environmentally-related health problems

1. Emphasize connection & interdependence between humans/culture and nature
2. Elevate nonmarket values related to human life and development, community, and nature
3. Act on obligation to leave future generations habitable planet that offers equal options for fulfillment
4. Emphasize relations between areas of knowledge for sustainability
5. Support civil society: public discussion of, and responsibility for, society's challenges
6. Encourage public discussion and reflection on the "good life" in relation to resource demands
7. Encourage a global civil society
8. Demand responsive, accountable government at all levels

1. Recognize that a separate mechanism is needed to address the economic problem of scale, than those used to address allocation and distribution
2. Set absolute limits of matter-energy flows within which technologies and markets must operate, to confine the total scale of activity to the regenerative capacity of natural systems
3. Expect environmental regulations to become stricter, not more lenient, but aim to exceed them ("Environmental Excellence")
4. Do not externalize costs to other human groups, present or future, nor to non-human entities, present or future
5. Expect to pay for environmental costs generated by activities
6. Reduce environmental costs by investing up front in technologies and systems that reduce environmental costs
7. Include non-market values in cost-benefit analysis decision-making (i.e., by contingent evaluation or other methods)
8. Participate in markets for sustainably-produced goods; boycott those for unsustainably produced goods.

1. People most immediately affected must be included in the decision process
2. Cooperative decision-making leads to better decisions
3. Foster commitment at all institutional levels involved
4. Economic development, environmental protection and social justice should be mutually reinforcing
5. Foster linkages to share information and support sustainability across institutions and social groups
6. Invest in systems, design features and technologies that achieve clean and efficient results with less required modification of individual behavior
7. Design incentives and penalties to encourage sustainable choices
8. Provide all citizens with access to high quality, life-long education
9. Limit human population
10. Limit high matter-energy consumption

1. Approach the above in an integrated, systematic fashion
2. For example, George Washington University has attempted to develop a structural framework that is: "a comprehensive, integrated, 'deep green' orientation, covering all aras of university activity, including curriculum, infrastructure, and outreach."
