The Foundation is driven by a collective of people who share the common goal of creating a sustainable future.

To achieve this goal, the Foundation aims to:

> Conserve and protect the natural environment.

> Foster the rapid adoption, by the whole of our community, of ways of living that will make it possible to sustain the community of life locally and globally.

> Make our contribution especially through the creation of 'platforms' that enable large numbers of people and organisations to cooperate to pursue these purposes effectively.

> Be a leading example of an entity that practices and pursues ecological and social sustainability.
