New Future

"We have lived by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives, so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, that what is good for the world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it. We must learn to cooperate in its processes, and to yield to its limits. But even more important we must learn to acknowledge that the creation is full of mystery; we will never clearly understand it. We must abandon arrogance and stand in awe. We must recover the sense of the majesty of the creation, and the ability to be worshipful in its presence. For it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it."

     —Wendell Berry

We envision a world where humans live in harmony with the earth; where human systems and natural systems work together to improve the quality of life for all living things. We envision a world where ecologically literate young people become tomorrow’s leaders and carry with them a culture of sustainability that drives the day-to-day decisions they make in business and their personal lives.

Earth Care International plants the “seeds of sustainability" in young people. We teach them a new way to live on this planet that gives humans the possibility of an infinite future. Although offered in many different ways, all of our programs have a common theme: that another way of living on this planet is possible and there are actions each of us can take right now to start living in a way beneficial to the natural environment.
