About  [Edit]

The Standards of LIFE is a platform around which this generation of people, across the world, can build a common movement to lead the changes we need to make.

Imagine an integrated framework of policies that brings together people working in environmental, social, economic and political areas around a comprehensive platform for our common future. A platform that puts the standard of life ahead of the standard of living, the nature of the planet in balance with the humanity of her people and the beauty of the sunrise alongside the raising of our children.

Join us now and explore the Standards of LIFE to see for yourself how easily our sustainable prosperity is realistically achievable in this lifetime.

Read about how we can:

  • balance the atmosphere and the econosphere
  • nurture our society and our ingenuity
  • practice democracy that is responsive and representative



If you want to change the world you live in, into a better world...
If you want to know what is possible, practical and realistically achievable now, in your lifetime...
You're in the right place - read on!Click here, to find out more about the Standards of LIFE

 

 

The Standards of LIFE is important because it provides a platform for the movement.
The Standards of LIFE are a practical, realistic, organizing framework for all of the progressive intention and action occurring around the world. There are wonderful people involved in all sorts of efforts to promote a positive future and combat degeneration but without an overarching policy framework that can provide the structure for a political movement they find themselves limited in how much change they can affect.
Many, if not all, of the problems around the world are interrelated and interdependent and the Standards of LIFE is a unified political philosophy that provides a holistic approach to changing our world, resolving ethnic and territorial disputes, alleviating poverty and redressing the balance with Nature without hurting anyone.
LIFE is also a viable political platform with a good chance of success in many countries around the world. It is non-judgmental and while not particularly pro anyone, it is also not anti anyone.

There are lots of good people working with what's available today, why do we need LIFE?

We need LIFE because if you ask those good people out there working hard every day, they will tell you that there's only so much they can do unless "the system" is changed.
We need action and change at every layer of our societies and none is more important that the other. LIFE addresses change in government and that is a necessary complement to the changes that we must all also make on a personal level.
There are fundamental, correctable flaws in the basic structures of our societies that limit what is acheivable by the good people working in the million+ organizations across the globe. That's why we are still in the mess we're in and that's why we need a coherent, feasible, alternative model to move our societies towards. LIFE is such a model.

We don't have much time and we need a standard banner around which people all over the world can coalesce to drive change in their society.
