Theory of Change
PRINCIPLES
01
Humans as nature
Humans have been the problem, but we’re also the solution. The fundamental truth is that we’re not disconnected from nature, we’re not even a part of nature, we are nature which means we can heal ourselves and regenerate our ecosystems.
Tipping points are non-linear
Television was first introduced to the public at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. “By 1950, around 9% of American households had a television. This figure skyrocketed to approximately 90% by the late 1950s.” It only took 10-20 years for TV to reach mass market adoption. The same can be true for climate solutions.
Shared vision
If the future is a mosaic, we each hold a piece. From our internal team to our larger stakeholder ecosystem, work happens more swiftly and effectively when diverse perspectives form a unified vision of the future we want, rather than the one we fear.
04
The future is here
There is an entire spectrum of possible futures available to us. Some futures are plausible, some are probable, and some are preferable. If visualizing the future is a pre-condition to creating it, we must recognize the indicators of our preferable future that are already expressing themselves in the present. After all, energy flows where attention goes.
