The food we eat, the water we drink and the things we buy all have a story. That story is woven into life itself. What leaves our homes has an impact wherever it ends up. Home is connected to other people's work, the infrastructure of society and ecosystems elsewhere.
Our habits at home therefore reach far beyond its walls. What do we keep, repair and share? What do we throw away? What do we care for? Sustainability takes shape in the conditions we help create through our habits and values, at home and beyond.
Home offers shelter, but it also needs to let life in: daylight, healthy air, clean water and nourishment. Our communities meet complex needs, yet they too must work with life if we are to thrive. Noticing these connections can begin wherever we are, by looking at what already surrounds us.
