Precept of Dave Stevism

The Earth is not a resource, because it is not separate from you.

The World Pantheist Movement asks members to take an Earth pledge and funds habitat conservation, which is what happens when reverence has no other object.

What it asksTreat the Earth as the sacred thing it is, because there is no other
Who it bindsMembers of the World Pantheist Movement by pledge; other pantheists by inference
Where it bitesWhere reverence for nature costs money or convenience
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

Pantheist ethics is a short argument: if the universe is the sacred thing and you are part of it, then damage to the world is not damage to property. The World Pantheist Movement puts this into a specific form — an Earth pledge, plus funded wildlife habitat conservation — which makes it one of the few lines on this site where the ethic and the environmental programme are the same object. Critics inside naturalism argue this is ordinary environmentalism with an honorific attached. The counter is that people who describe the world as sacred behave differently towards it, which is an empirical claim and largely untested.
