A greener, more peaceful way of living is possible. But we’re not the only ones with roles to play in living sustainably. Corporations and often governments are benefiting from consumer culture. More than that, corporations are the ones who, more than anyone else, have created and contributed to the culture themselves. We challenge the practices and business models that drive this culture of consumption which is tearing down forests, polluting our water, warming the planet and putting our families’ health at risk. A better future is achievable. And while individual efforts are undoubtedly invaluable, it is through sustained pressure on corporations and key decision makers that our culture truly shifts to sustainable living.
