Our Philosophy

As human beings, our history is based in the nature and the physical organization of our societies in which we have formed ourselves. We can subsist in these societies by maintaining a productive interaction with natural resources and we can express our intellectual, spiritual and esthetical meaning of life through the environment.

However, at this moment our actions have had the opposite impact in our planet and it seems like the inevitable consequence will be the extinguishment of our life in the Earth. Nevertheless, these impacts shouldn’t take us to apocalyptic sermons.

Our biology adapts to the environment by using its resources to subsist and share or trade with other resources produced in the society.

This way we could combine our natural resources with our social resources by changing our perspective and educating ourselves and the society in the fundamental role our environment plays in our well being and the crucial role our actions play in the environment as well. And is in this man-environment symbiosis we want to place all our attention ensuring that economic development does not represent only damage to the environment but rather contributes to development and human welfare.

We can achieve sustainable development without compromising the resources that make it possible. To achieve this goal, we must ensure that all resources are renewed at the same rate they are being consumed or changing a resource that regenerates slowly with one that has a faster rate of regeneration so these resources can be useful not only for the present generations but to the future generations as well.
