What’s this website about?

We are at the end of a long era. It’s official. Just ask that UN. Human behaviour is poisoning the planet.

There’s no bigger call to action. We all need a plan. Welcome to ECO MANIFESTO.

Climate change is here. So is peak oil. No matter what, we will be facing big change and we all are participants in creating whatever comes next. But how are we going to do that? What is each of us planning to do? What should we do? What can we do? What actually works? What doesn’t?

There are a lot of questions and a lot of answers. The over-haul we need to initiate is immense. It’s personal and political, social, cultural. It is body, mind, psychology and spirit. It’s about our relationship with industry, capital, employment and consumption. And about nature which is mysterious, overwhelming, inspiring and creative. And that doesn’t begin to describe it.

ECO MANIFESTO is a space for people to share their ideas and plans, dilemmas and experiences as we make our way, as best we can, toward whatever future we co-create.

The earth is calling. We each need to figure out our own manifesto — the vision, guidelines, plans and commitments that will guide us; the contribution, preparation, work and play that we each uniquely bring to this incredible challenge. But we also need to share and learn from each other. Plus we need to challenge, debate, support and connect with each other.

Join us. We need to hear and talk about your ECO MANIFESTO!
