 Big shade trees. A mountain vista. Waves breaking on an unbroken stretch of natural coastline. Few things calm and inspire more than being in the presence of natural beauty. Even a walk in a city park can be restorative.
Everyone wants a clean and healthy environment. Of course, it’s not just about soothing scenery. We want fresh air, clean water, healthy natural systems of plants and animals.
Keeping the natural world whole is one of the major challenges of modern society. Consumer products come from the Earth, and return to it in one form or another. Though we must consume to live, drawing resources at a rate faster than the Earth can regenerate them and returning waste at a rate faster than can be absorbed causes natural systems to suffer.
We can live in harmony with the Earth , however. The Center for a New American Dream works with individuals, institutions, communities and businesses to conserve natural resources and change the way goods are produced and consumed. We promote choices that are safe for the environment, socially responsible, personally sustaining. We help youth understand the connections between the environment and consumer behavior. We can even help you take personal steps like reducing your junkmail By living consciously, buying wisely, and striving to make a difference, we can ensure a healthy planet for both current and future generations.
Want More?
New American Dream is promoting our message of hope through a new series of posters, postcards, and ads that illustrate how living consciously, buying wisely, and making a difference isn’t about having less, but of cultivating more of the things that matter: more nature, more time, more fun, and more fairness, to name a few. Now we need your help spreading the word.
Print our “More Nature” poster and hang it at your favorite hangout, like the local coffee shop, bookstore, or co-op.
