What We Do
We strive to shift the tide to create a life-sustaining world for all. We believe everyone has the potential to be a leader for sustainability, and each of us has a role to play. Everyone is needed.

Take Action
One of the Donella Meadows Leadership Fellows, Tim Brown, offers the opportunity to offset personal carbon emissions, or purchase carbon offsets to mitigate one-time or annual carbon emissions for families, households, or organizations. Tim’s company, Tradewater, headquartered in Chicago, pursues projects nationally and internationally to find, collect, and destroy refrigerants. Tradewater’s refrigerant projects are conducted pursuant to scientifically reviewed protocols established by the California Air Resources Board, American Carbon Registry, and VERRA, and each project is independently audited to ensure full compliance.
We must realize that when basic needs have been met, human development is primarily about being more, not having more.
—Earth Charter
