| Gaia Partnership's network of local groups helps provide ongoing follow-up in participants' local areas. We are also in the process of pioneering a link-up of local Greenlinks directories which help people support their local economy by finding eco-friendly products and services in their home area. |
| The work of Gaia Partnership is based on the principles of Gaia Theory, researched by scientists James Lovelock and Lynne Margulis, and developed by Schumacher tutors Stephan Harding and Brian Goodwin, and philosopher Mary Midgley. We share Stephan's outlook - less pessimistic than in Lovelock's 'Revenge of Gaia' - we believe there is still time to avert catastrophic changes in the Earth's natural systems, and that it can be an enjoyable adventure if whole communities can work together. |
