Our Four Step Process

Advocating for sustainable lives

We make decisions with the information we have.
Action based on these decisions is never a mistake.  
M.A. Hoyt - 1984

Research and plan


Our lives are destined to become more like our grandparent's. Our lives can be easier and more comfortable than theirs if we take advantage of all we have learned in the last century. We focus on removing barriers to change.

Do the work


Accomplish what's in the plan keeping open to learning and opportunities to adjust.

Reporting

 At appropriate milestones we compile data, make videos, and presentations.  This type of information is crucial for businesses and individuals charting their way to success in a world with decreasing access to fossil fuels.

Evolution

After living with our new habit for a while new opportunities for improvement may become apparent.  That can inspire us to take action to reduce our carbon footprint even more, or make life easier.  If we decide to act, our cycle renews.
