WiserEarth Strategic Planning
Towards a clear, cogent and compelling vision for WiserEarth
A group that will explore possible positioning options for WiserEarth and outreach to the WE community for input. The output of the process will be a Planning Document & Positioning Statement which will inform other WiserEarth activities - particularly the UI redesign. This is not an exercise in developing or improving the WE logo.

About [Edit]
Living Routes develops accredited, college-level programs based in ecovillages around the world, which help students gain the knowledge, skills and inspiration to build sustainable lifestyles for themselves, their communities and the Planet.
Why we exist
We are living in the most challenging, yet also the most promising era of human history. Given trends in climate disruption, overpopulation, habitat loss, and social injustice, our dominant global culture seems very much like the Titanic -- a gigantic, human-made enterprise headed for certain disaster unless its course is significantly altered.
Fortunately, as deep ecologist Joanna Macy would say, we have already begun this "Great Turning". Like lifeboats that have "jumped ship" in search of verdant lands, thousands of ecovillages all around the world are discovering and pioneering social and ecological systems that offer positive visions for humanity and the planet. Together, these communities are truly part of an emerging sustainable culture.
We now need to create new models of education that support this emerging culture. This is the vision behind Living Routes - to develop ecovillage-based educational programs that empower participants to help build a sustainable future.
