Environmental Tipping Points
A project looking at how the same forces which cause societies and ecosystems to degrade can also be mobilized to restore them. It researches and documents how change in one part of a system - whether social or natural - can catalyze change in the whole system and disseminates these basic principles so that ordinary people can create 'environmental tipping points' in their own communities.
