One thing we have learnt through the Covid pandemic is not to ignore the scientists. On Climate Change they are emphatic; we have embarked on a sixth global extinction event, entirely of our own making, which threatens the very life on our planet including our very own survival. We have to, each of us, – individuals, families, schools, businesses, make a stance and work together in staving off disaster, for our children’s sake and for their futures.
The Fair Earth Foundation CIO facilitates action; it supports disadvantaged communities around the world in standing on their own feet, empowering them to address their own needs be they financial, educational, social or environmental. We are ideally placed to help form collaborations capable of affecting real change.
Globally, we work with communities to help make them sustainable. We do this through Fair Trade and Eco Tourism initiatives which create real wealth and empowers them in the process. To this work we have added tree planting as a further source of income. We are adopting community tree planting programmes in Tanzania as best practice and developing them in countries where we operate: Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sierra Leone…..
In the UK, we work with schools, colleges and universities, business and communities in developing social entrepreneurship and global citizenship. Our programmes, Art & Nature (https://www.fairearthfoundation.org/art-and-nature.html), Global Citizenship (https://www.fairearthfoundation.org/global-citizenship.html) and London Eco Film Festival (http://www.theleff.org/) are all testament to our energy, vision and capacity to affect real change.
Currently, our key goal is to plant one million trees around the world in the next twelve months. Many will be in the UK and many more will be around the world. If you would like to join us in this adventure please contact us mad@fairearthfoundation.org (mad- make a difference! Before we can strive to achieve, we need to have the vision to dream and then the strength to attempt the impossible; only together can we do this.)
