Community

It is all too easy to feel that the world's problems are so big that you cannot make a difference. It's crucial that we have a sense of 'working together' on this most important challenge, to live sustainably. We need to nurture and deepen our relationships with others and fire up our compassion toward those in need, the young and future generations of living creatures on this planet. Through these relationships, we will learn together, act together and kick environmental goals together. The sense of common purpose and achievement we will gain will provide essential fuel for the journey. So how can we nurture our compassion and engagement so as to contribute?

Environment

People are at the heart of the current environmental crisis. The group's people form are the most powerful force for change available to us. Climate change, the corrosion of natural services and the diminishment of nature all have their source in human activity. Addressing these unsustainable lifestyles and working together to repair our planet is the key challenge.

Wellbeing

Our 'affluent' society takes a disproportionate share of the world's resources to support an unsustainable lifestyle while the remaining 80 per cent of the world's people and most of its natural systems suffer. Many are swimming against this tide and together seeking to craft a sustainable, wise and fair world.
