It Takes a Whole Village to Raise a Child – African Proverb
This blog is about my journey to create a sustainable business. As someone who has been involved with wildlife and ecosystems since childhood I understand the value of natural systems both for humans and wildlife. In medieval England each village would have had its own wood. A place for the village to obtain the resources it needed to build house and furniture, to gather herbs, fruits and nuts, to hunt deer and wood pigeons.
Today we obtain out needs via the Internet from global resources. Often without knowing or understanding the impact we ask of the resources from the location where our item has arrived.
I am on a journey to create a value-based enterprise, which will source sustainable products and encourage people to change from plastic to renewable and sustainably manufactured products and in the process help communities around the world to grow and prosper.
This is not a journey I want to do on my own. Perhaps you also have a similar ethos and value system? Perhaps you just think what I am trying to do is sensible and are interested to follow my journey. Let me know what you think. I am loath to have a Facebook or other social media, but welcome comments and ideas and indeed suggestions on things I might have overlooked.
