Members of the Baltimore County Green Party act locally on community issues, while keeping in mind the global need to follow the Green movement's ten key principles:

• Ecological Wisdom- Green ecology moves beyond environmentalism by understanding the common roots of the abuse of nature and the abuse of people. Whatever we do to the web of life, we do to ourselves.
• Social Justice- Greens want to replace the worldwide system of poverty and injustice with a world free of all oppression based upon class, gender, race, citizenship, age or sexual orientation.
• Grassroots Democracy- The powerless suffer the most from resource depletion and toxic pollution. Greens believe in direct participation by all people in the environmental, political and economic decisions that affect their lives.
• Nonviolence- Greens reject violence as a way of settling disputes- it is shortsighted, morally incorrect and ultimately self- defeating. We are working to create a world where war is obsolete.
• Decentralization- Power and responsibility must be restored to local communities, within an overall framework of ecologically sound, socially just values and lifestyles.
• Community- Based Economics- Greens seek a new economics, soundly based upon the natural limits of the Earth, which will meet the basic needs of everyone on the planet, yet be under democratic, localized control.
• Feminism (Post- Patriarchal Values)- The Green Movement is profoundly influenced by feminist values. The ethics of cooperation, nurturing and understanding must replace the striving for dominance and control over others.
• Respect for Diversity- Greens honor the biological diversity of the Earth and the cultural, sexual and spiritual diversity of the Earth's peoples. We aim to reclaim this country's finest ideals: popular democracy, the dignity of the individual, and liberty and justice for all.
• Personal and Global Responsibility- Greens demonstrate a commitment to global sustainability and international justice through political solidarity and in personal lifestyles based upon self- sufficiency and "living lightly."
• Future Focus- Like the Iroquois (Native American) credo, Greens seek a society where the interests of the seventh generation are considered equal to the interests of the present. We must reclaim the future for ourselves and our children.
