our vision
Our vision is a world in which human land use creates healthy biodiverse ecosystems that support life in all of its expressions.
We imagine people everywhere having access to affordable, chemical-free, environmentally regenerative, locally produced whole food.
We imagine homes, buildings, and communities surrounded by living beauty and biodiversity.
We imagine people being able to work locally outdoors for a living wage with a flexible schedule while improving property values.
Every Thrive Lot project means less chemicals dumped on lawns and industrial farms, fewer fossil fuels burned in mowing, blowing, and food transportation, less plastic waste in landfills from food packaging and landscape materials packaging, local gig jobs created, and homeowner property values improved.
