NATURE AS INSPIRATION

Nature has long been a source of inspiration for our creativity. Centuries of advancement and shifting cultural beliefs have divorced us from this muse, but we now recognize the need to reconnect.

This is not an attempt to erase the undeniable progress we've made since industrialization, but instead to build on it with perspectives informed by traditional and alternative ways of living.

The combination of traditional sustainable practices and perspectives with modern technological capabilities may be the key to unlocking frontiers of human existence and understanding. That may begin with finding beauty in the life we have been given and in those that share it with us.

YOU + SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is a buzzword in these days of climate crisis.

It reminds us of the need for alternate approaches to modern ways of living in, thinking about, and interacting with nature (lifestyles, diets, etc). It is lost that true sustainability amounts to doing the most with what one has.

In practice, sustainability is a mindset and lens with which to approach solutions. The "limits" of sustainability are only as far as one can imagine its applications.

inTEND sets out to share the true meaning of sustainability and help people translate its values into richer careers, relationships, and lives.

CREATIVITY AND ACTIVISM: ART OF THE GREEN NEW DEAL

MEDIA

Media is an effective platform for reshaping perspectives and attitudes.

For a long time, it has been utilized to shape our preferences, values and ambitions towards environmental harm. It's time we harness media to promote a worldview that cherishes and supports the flourishing of life.

The emphasis is not on openly touting "environmentalism." We need genuine creative expression that embodies principles of sustainability.
