| About | |||||||
Our world is changing. And we are faced with adapting to new paradigms that require new sets of responses from individuals and communities. The converging challenges of our times—climate change, the energy revolution, sustaining health care and seeking global peace—are also opportunities to build sustainable and healthier societies. Animate Community evolved in response to these emerging needs.
We work by focussing attention on particular topics of shared interest through events and educational opportunities that bring together communities of people. A gathering of like-minded individuals with common purpose creates a field of potential that accelerates change, the expansion of awareness and the resolve to take action. An intentional "act of community" is a most powerful tool.
"The current solutions being bantered about are inadequate to the conditions we are faced with,” says Anita Burke, after decades inside the oil industry. “We must embrace adaptation strategies that immediately create whole new ways of being in relationship to each other and the planet. Buy local, get off of hydrocarbons in every aspect of your life, gather in community, and espouse only love - your grandchildren’s lives depend on it.” Anita Burke was formerly Shell International senior advisor on Climate Change and Sustainability.
