“ In effect [sustainability] means not using earth's resources faster than they can be naturally regenerated and not creating waste faster than it can be naturally absorbed. „
- Roman Krznaric, philosopher and author
Our experience over the years has shown that too many people are just unaware of the breadth of the planet's environment challenge.
Whether through poorly presented news or misinformation, lack of access to relevant information, sheer overwhelming volume of data or by choosing to ignore it because the topic is too vast (or worrying), we recognise that most people we speak to just don't know enough.
All our programmes are based on bringing everyone up to a basic level of awareness. However much detail can be taken on board, each person we engage with will take away what they need to start to see the bigger picture.
Having a basic awareness of what we face is the foundation of all our programmes.
Our next step is to educate. To bring to life the detail that is important to each person, group or business.
We create knowledge through interaction, sharing ideas, thoughts or concerns and building a reference framework around the topic. Insight and intuition, cultural awareness and planetary systems all form part of a healthy discussion that brings enlightenment to all.
The numbers, the impact, the cold hard truths - whatever button that needs to be pressed will be pressed in a safe, meaningful way with the space to reflect and understand the true impact.
Equipped with the right information, a clear understanding and vision, we now set about the change.
This stage of our model is when you become empowered to make change happen. And own it.
Meaningful action is required, whether a shift in culture or a complete redesign of your vision, strategy, systems or tools - we believe action speaks louder than words and all our programmes have been designed to help you and your people take action that makes a meaningful difference.
