What Drives Us

Our Mission, Vision & Goals

Our mission is to link surplus with needs.

We envision humanity harmonizing with Earth. 

Our goal is to encourage optimism and trust in nature’s abundant 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 5 major programming departments.  (1) Clean Wave is our global hair-mats-for-oil-spills project where we felt waste fibers into mats that soak up petrochemicals. (2) Our Eco-Industrial Hub with model factory and exhibit hall is in the SoMa district of San Francisco. Visitors are also welcome at our nearby showcase (3) Eco-Home, with urban edible garden. These places provide immersive tours and field trips. Online check out our environmental social media platform – (4) The Hum Sum – for Humanity Adding Solutions where everyone can share planet-friendly posts and research. (5) YEEP! Our Youth Eco-Education Programs include our  green career internships & apprenticeships.

We love Kim, our master gardener and what she has done with our urban edible garden at the eco-home! We also used the short hair dust that was too short for the oil spill mats! So great for soil! #hair #ecofriendly #planetfriendly #garden #gardening #MatterOfTrust ... See MoreSee Less

Ever wonder how we create a unified hair mat from multiple different hair textures? By using our @bestgopets brush! This brush allows us to separate the hair of multiple textures quickly and evenly, so we can create an even distribution of hair which is then woven together. Check out this video to watch it in action! ♻️ 💇🏼‍♀️ . . . #hair #hairmats #scrims #scrim #recycle #donatehair #planetfriendly #matteroftrust #ecofriendly #ecohub #oilspills #curlyhair #hairbrush #gopets #stormdrains #planetconservation
