We all need to do our bit to create a Resource Revolution – transforming how we think about the way we use materials, reduce waste and sustain our planet’s resources - to leave a positive footprint on our environment for future generations to enjoy.

It is not enough for every well-intentioned person to adopt sustainable environmental practices. Inevitably, there will be others who lag behind, creating damage and taking from our planet’s resources.

We would not dream of leaving massive debts for future generations to pay off. Yet that is what we are doing with the negative environmental legacy our era is creating.

Resource Revolution is about combining successful business and lifestyle practices with creating a surplus investment for our planet’s resources – to leave a positive footprint from our activities: to be a good ancestor.

Organisations and individuals supporting the Resource Revolution are committed to achieving a positive environmental impact through their activities by the year 2020 working beyond being sustainable to making their own positive footprints on this planet.

It is about taking action now through fully using renewable technologies, redesigning our resource use, creating a mindset that we share one planet and all have a vested interest in our long term well being.

Resource Revolution is about leading visionary companies and individuals who reduce, reuse, reclaim, recycle, and redesign to adopt best practices, and share their environmental learning with others.

Positive footprint businesses do well in four ways by;

1. earning goodwill, but avoiding ‘greenwash’
2. using resources efficiently (the most resource-efficient will win)
3. setting an example that others cannot ignore
4. taking into account the full future costs of their environmental impact and potential to incur costs in the future.
