Eco-Friendly Families



So, the best way of formulating an "Eco-Family," is to conduct ourselves in a particular manner.

Initial Premise: It is not always about the individual's pursuit of happiness... it is about the satisfaction of pride in not throwing our families away... 
Follow these guidelines:
1. Avoid "trash talking" other family members.
2. Refuse to "throw away" other family members, whether via divorce and/or alienation.
3. Conduct your family relationships as if you were a cell, with a semi-permeable membrane: ie "Everyone can come in and no one can leave." (There are two exceptions)
4. Learn effective conflict resolution skills and practice them often.
5. Avoid disposal of "family parts."
