This project emerged as a response to the current state of inertia in world political leadership as they respond to climate change and manoeuvre self-interest and financial economics versus eco-nomics. Eco-nomics here is defined as the concept of a person, group or culture having a sound knowledge of, and sympathy with, the natural law of ecology.  Basically meaning, that if the human race wishes to survive, it must obey the natural rule of law, live in harmony with the natural world and not exploit or destroy its ecosystems. 

The majority of scientists and environmentalists acknowledge that modernity, consumerism and industrialisation have caused an environmental crisis – pollution and climate change.  Heavy industry, that underpins capitalism, relies on mining, drilling and burning fossil fuels for energy that have proven to be a disastrous path to follow.

This way of living produces greenhouse gases that contribute to the overheating of the Earth’s atmosphere and causes multiple climate-related threats to life and existence.  Global warming raises sea temperatures and levels, threatening the viability of coastal communities with coastline erosion and submergence.  Extraordinary weather events,such as storm surge, flooding and hurricanes, destroy homes,, pollute land and fresh water resources with saltwater.  Adversely, extreme drought and lack of water due to low rainfall, kill crops, animals and the people that depend on them to live.  

Wildfires, as those in Australia, the USA and South America, devastate farmland, destroy crops, homes and forests as well as kill and injure animals and insects.  WWF estimated Australia may have lost three billion animals, reptiles, birds, and insects in the 2019-20 bush fires.
