Our Name
“Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.”
Our Values
HUMILITY
We are a small part of a greater whole trying to solve enormous challenges facing our planet.
LEARNING AND RELEARNING
Our work is informed by the ever expanding and evolving scientific, economic, and financial understanding of climate change, energy innovation, and economic equity.
COLLABORATION
Partner with others who have been working tirelessly to achieve our shared goals.
