History

Launched in 2015 out of a response to the siloed access to data and alternatives. The waste crisis was the last [plastic] straw in a crippling state where water, electricity, air quality and basic rights dance in complacent corruption.

Goals

A holistic approach to access nature based alternatives. We engage community to consider the flow, impact, and value of resources across interconnected sectors, how systems can be improved, and who is working to create alternatives on the ground.
