The climate and health crises are the two most pressing issues of our time.
Change needs to occur, and sooner rather than later. These huge problems can often leave individuals feeling helpless.
But personal changes can have a big impact.
LOCAL ISSUES
While planetary health is a global concern, we primarily focus on issues and guests from our corner of the globe, bringing awareness to our most pressing and relevant challenges.
ETHICAL
We promote ethical living and seek to achieve a more just and sustainable world through cruelty-free and exploitation-free lifestyle choices.
EDUCATIONAL
We strive to be a reliable and evidence-based source of information and provide a platform for groups and individuals of similar alignment to help catalyse change.
OUR PLANET IS INFINITELY BEAUTIFUL BUT HAS FINITE RESOURCES
Without a healthy and stable planet, there are no healthy humans, and our planet is in trouble. The scientific literature is clear with more than 11,000 scientist signatories from 153 countries clearly stating the earth is facing a climate emergency (Ripple et al, 2020).
PERSONAL & PLANETARY HEALTH
ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED
BEHAVIOUR CHANGES HEAL BOTH PEOPLE AND THE PLANET
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in both Australia and New Zealand, but by using our forks, fingers and feet wisely, we can all work on changing these sobering statistics.
Our Vision: By adopting climate-friendly and healthy lifestyle practices we can all work together to create healthy, resilient communities and a planet that will sustain us both now and for generations to come.
