*# [[Grassroots democracy|Grassroots Democracy]]
*# [[Non-violence|Non-Violence]]

These were originally defined by European Green Parties, from the foundation of the [[German Green Party]] in 1979-1980 (with its motto ''Die Grünen: ökologisch, sozial, basisdemokratisch, gewaltfrei'' [http://www.dhm.de/lemo/html/DasGeteilteDeutschland/NeueHerausforderungen/NeuePolitischeKonstellationen/dieGruenenBody.html]), and later adopted by the [[U.S. Green Party]].  The U.S. Green Party, and that of Canada, have expanded these into [[Ten Key Values of the Green Party]].

The four pillars are generally considered interdependent, reinforcing each other in non-obvious ways. They arose from shared concerns of the [[peace movement]] and [[ecology movement]].
