HOW DID WE GET HERE?

After WWII the country had to grow, and fast. This meant that new jobs, materials, products and lifestyles were made and sold quickly to get an economic system afloat again.

Consumerism was born and endless growth expected. The drive towards economic expansion has had a negative impact on our home, Earth.

A UN report published in December 2020 states some truly shocking and disheartening figures, exposing the amount of damage we have done to our natural world. These figures display the thoughtless and irresponsible practices that now underpin much of our western lifestyles.

Anyone who looks more deeply into this is likely to feel frustrated, angry and upset.

All these hard facts of our environmental impact can make us feel shocked, confused and helpless. But wait...

Let’s see this from a different angle. An angle of transformation.

If everything we currently do is damaging. It means everything we do has to change.

We can write our own future and embrace the opening up of new opportunities.

We have a chance to rebuild our world, bursting with happier and healthier people. People who are more connected to themselves and the world around them; to other people and our planet.

Real change comes from the people.
