Goals and Objectives

  1. To share and give ownership of sustainability practices through adventure-experiential-educational programs for youth.
  2. Purchase 2 initial 10-man sailboats, dive gear, surfboards, other adventure tools, textbooks, agricultural tools, wind mills, solar panels, yurts etc.
  3. Write curriculum that may pass for high school science, industrial tech, or other credits
  4. To set up 10 properties on 5 continents capable of supporting sustainable, low-impact communities.
  5. Purchase lands in danger of high-impact development
  6. Write management plans for each property
  7. Create an international non-profit to oversee the management of the properties
  8. Create recreation management plans for the lands
  9. Set up trade systems among communities
  10. Promote cultural preservation
  11. Educate the importance of the preservation of culture
  12. Promote less obtrusive technologies
  13. Operate semester and summer programs for HS and College aged participants (many college and high school students are unaware of sustainability practices and what the need is for them. The programs may also contribute to intrinsic satisfaction through adding effort to a community sustainability project.)
  14. Find a host University (likely one that has high interest in sustainability science and has money)
  15. Use the host university’s requirements (and piggy back onto their government tax form)
Time frame for initial goal accomplishment: 10 years
