It is used by thousands of individuals around the world as a guide to making choices that sustain themselves and restore the environment.

It is a common framework comprised of easily understood, scientifically based principles that can serve as a compass to guide society toward a sustainable future. Participants come away with tools and focus to begin bringing their lives, communities and businesses back into balance.
