Our PEACE framework gives you confidence to pursue sustainability.

Our PEACE framework gives you confidence to pursue sustainability.

Below you’ll find information on many sustainability topics, but the overriding theme is making it:

Practical:  Sustainability needs to be actionable! We provide toolkits, checklists, and step-by-step guidance.

Economical:  We aim to include the selling points and business case of sustainability initiatives.

Approachable: There's too much blaming and shaming. We want you to feel good about the next step, not bad for the previous ones.

Celebrated:  We applaud every plate of food donated, every email you didn’t print, every day you take public transportation, and every time you show up to learn. We elevate and amplify those doing good, no matter how small their efforts.

Enjoyable: Sustainability is an uphill battle. We can't change that, but as we climb the mountain, we want to experience growth, comradery, fun, enlightenment, inspiration, and joy. We emphasize teamwork and discovery. 

Sustainability is a journey. We hope our content serves as guide and encouragement!

Scavenger Hunt

I am passionate about the concept of 'buy local' (and supporting small business and social enterprises). I often find things (products, souvenirs, services, restaurants, shops…) that even the locals I'm meeting with hadn't heard about. It's part research, part serendipity. I'm using the same map app they are. I don't have any special feature that says "show me the awesome local stuff." It takes setting an intention and going about your search in a specific way…

Food Systems and Biodiversity

In this blog, Joseph While (former Astrapto intern) explores biodiversity. “I like to think of nutrition diversity as your personal health stock portfolio: Create a hedge fund for your health by investing in as many diverse nutritious foods as you can.
