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 project where we felt waste fibers into mats that soak up petrochemicals and help with soil remediation.

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

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

(4) Eco-Industrial Hubs (Eco-Hub & Eco-Depot) our working model factories and exhibit hall in the SoMa district of San Francisco.

(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.

We are also the proud fiscal sponsors for programs including: a) Sonoma Food Runners, b) Heart of the City Farmers’ Market Food Security Education Project, and more.

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

Hair Matters Global Hub Partners -Oklahoma Mini Mill – Oklahoma, USAt Oklahoma Mini Mill we are in the business of processing animal fleeces, in preparation for fiber artists to use in their projects. We work with all breeds of sheep, alpaca, yak, angora, cashmere, camel, bison, and more. We already had a working shop set-up, and were familiar with wet felting, so it was an easy transition to needle felting to make the hair mats for Matter of Trust. We are honored to be a partner in the Hair Matters program!matteroftrust.org/current-satellite-hub-partners/#oklahomaminimills #recycle #HairMats ... See MoreSee Less

Walking through our Eco-Home is a bit like peeking into the future; a future where sustainable living is simply the norm. Worldwide trends tell us this future isn’t far off. By 2050, nearly 7 out of 10 people on the planet will live in cities. Imagine all those city dwellers adopting greener lifestyles – the impact will be tremendous. Cities might be bustling, but they can also be hubs of innovation for climate solutions. Our Eco-Home highlights some of those solutions now: renewable energy, urban gardening, waste reduction, and efficient use of space. We showcase solar panels and green energy gadgets (because as of today, California has installed enough solar to power over 15 million home; proof that clean energy is on the rise!). We also explore ideas like bike-powered chargers and living walls for insulation, hinting at how urban homes might evolve. The message is: the sustainable city of tomorrow starts with each of us at home today.We know climate change is the challenge of our time, but here’s the hopeful part – making changes at home is one of the most immediate ways to cut carbon emissions. The U.S. has set goals to halve emissions by 2030, and to get there, millions of small actions need to happen alongside big policy shifts. Swapping a gas car for an EV, insulating an old apartment, reducing meat in our diets, installing a smart thermostat – these are “small” things that, multiplied across a city, become huge. Our Eco-Home showcases many of these actions in one place, so you can see how they fit together into a lifestyle that’s comfortable, modern, and dramatically lighter on the planet. It’s not science fiction – it’s doable stuff. And guess what? Many sustainable swaps save money and make life healthier, too (hello, lower electricity bills and cleaner air indoors!). We’re basically saying: the future is bright, green, and actually pretty cool.Call to Action: Want to time-travel to a greener 2030? 🚀 Come visit our Bee My Valentine Open House (Feb 10–15) and see what the future of living could look like. The sustainable future is being built one home at a time; let’s build it together. 🌿🏙️✨ ... See MoreSee Less
