What Drives Us

Our Mission, Vision & Goals

Our mission is to link surplus with needs.

We envision humanity harmonizing with Earth. 

Our main goals are to encourage optimism and garner trust in nature’s abundant, renewable cycles.

Mother Nature is a catalyst and always in balance
Did you know?

LINKING surplus with needs diverts useful items and materials from the waste stream, plus creates jobs in logistics & repairs.

You shampoo because HAIR collects oil.  Help us gather clippings from salons and pet groomers. We felt fibers into mats that soak up oil spills.

COMPOSTING grazed rangelands boosts photosynthesis, pulling more carbon out of the air and returning it back into the soil.

Our Programs

We have 7 departments:

(1) Hair Matters is our global hair-mats-for-oil-spills project where we felt waste fibers into mats that soak up petrochemicals.

(2) Eco-Industrial Hub with model factory and exhibit hall is in the SoMa district of San Francisco.

(3) Eco-Home and urban edible garden with planet-friendly, immersive tours and field trips.

(4) The Hum Sum – for Humanity Adding Solutions our environmental social media platform, where everyone can share ecological posts and research.

(5) Eco-Academy – Our Youth and Eco-Education Program includes internships, apprenticeships and green careers for all ages.

(6) The WALOP – Worthy Actionable List of Projects through 2050 – researching, organizing and implementing solutions that nurture healthy air, soil, water, energy and life.

(7) Administration – We open-source all of our back-end processes because we believe that public charities should have transparent, combined or replicable systems that help each other to save funds and time.
