Our mission is guided by a simple principle: Leave fossil fuels in the ground and learn to live without them.
If you want to solve a problem, you should go to its root. With climate change, the root is the burning of fossil fuels. This fossil age has to come to an end quickly in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. We know that complete decarbonization has to be swiftly accomplished over the next decade or two and that good living with zero fossils is definitely possible, so let’s make it happen!
We envision a world powered by 100% renewable energy where we no longer burn fossil fuels and use materials in a sustainable, circular fashion. We believe that humankind as a family can and will respond to the climate crisis in effective ways and come out of it with a healthier way of living together.
