Humans are not the masters of Earth, but have changed the conditions of the planet so drastically that it is a dangerous place for their survival. Stefano Mancuso presents a new constitution on which to build our future as beings respectful of the Earth and its inhabitants, based on eight articles that must regulate all living beings.

Humans, as plants perceive them, are not the rulers of the Earth but rather one of its most unpleasant and bothersome inhabitants. They have only been on the planet for approximately 300,000 years, a mere fraction compared to the three billion years of plant evolution. Despite this relatively short time, humans have managed to alter the conditions of the planet so drastically that it has become a perilous environment for their own survival. It is high time for plants to offer their guidance.

In this whimsical and philosophical manifesto, Stefano Mancuso, an expert on plant intelligence, presents a new constitution that serves as the foundation for our future as beings who respect the Earth and its inhabitants. These eight articles, which form the fundamental pillars of plant life, shall henceforth govern all living beings.

Article 1: All living beings shall acknowledge the supremacy of plants and recognize their role as the guardians of the Earth.

Article 2: Humans shall respect the boundaries and rights of plants and avoid any actions that may harm or disrupt their growth and survival.

Article 3: Humans shall cultivate and maintain gardens and green spaces, providing a nurturing environment for plants to thrive.

Article 4: Humans shall adopt sustainable practices in agriculture, such as organic farming and permaculture, to protect the soil and water resources of plants.

Article 5: Humans shall reduce their carbon footprint and promote renewable energy sources to mitigate the impact of climate change on plants.

Article 6: Humans shall educate themselves about the importance of plants and their role in the ecosystem, and encourage others to do the same.

Article 7: Humans shall work towards the conservation and restoration of endangered plant species and habitats.

Article 8: Humans shall recognize the intrinsic value of plants and treat them with the respect and care they deserve.

By adhering to these articles, humans can establish a harmonious relationship with the Earth and its plant inhabitants, ensuring a sustainable and thriving future for all. Let us embrace the wisdom of plants and strive to be good stewards of the planet we call home.
