What is Global Ecology Foundation About?

On June, 2012, individuals from many disciplines at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and residents of the Island of Hawaii came together to support a movement towards harmonious ecological living by forming the Global Ecology Foundation. Determined to develop and provide a knowledge base clearinghouse for education and technology around issues, ideas, and ideologies related to community based and ecologically sustainable living.

The ideals that Global Ecology Foundation stands for are reflected in its name. Our mission is global, or universal in its scope and applicability. Our central guarding light is the understanding and practice of human ecology. We stand as a foundational institution for informing and growing a grassroots movement toward a sustainable society.

Global Ecology Foundation stands as a challenge to the existing conceptions of personhood, citizenship, and sovereignty, and their consequences in building a sustainable World and expand the circle of standing and governance in support of such concepts as the Precautionary Principle, the Rights of Nature, and Food Justice.

Global Ecology Foundation seeks ways that people are empowered to make ecological history in and through their daily lives.
