The average person unknowingly ingests enough plastic equal to a credit card per week.
Improper resource and waste management is a silent killer, causing over 9 million premature deaths every year. With the rising and unsustainable use of fossil fuels, this number grows-- but it isn't hopeless. Many successful methods of sustainable development around the world have been proven to improving the health of the people, environment, and economy. Our goal is to educate people on what they can do to implement these strategies into their communities.
VISION
We're Changing the Way the World Thinks About Sustainability
MAKING "CLEAN AND GREEN" PROFITABLE
Sustainability doesn't need to be pay-gated. Currently, while sustainable solutions may be more economically viable and resource efficient in the long run, many low-income communities don't have the systems instituted for it. What's worse-- global waste ends up dumped in these communities. We introduce the sustainable solutions to low-income places that are the most affected by global waste and otherwise don't have the resources to establish optimal waste and resource management. In doing so, we aim to institutionalize sustainability, making it the affordable and profitable choice.
PRIORITIZING PUBLIC HEALTH
Sustainability concerns both the health of the environment and human beings. The global waste issue and its repercussions are responsible for widespread water contamination, air pollution, hunger, biodiversity loss, and drastic resource depletion. This raises severe health concerns to people and ecosystems throughout the world, but the issue is unfortunately rarely taken seriously. We take great efforts to encourage the use of non-toxic, environmentally friendly alternatives first and foremost.
