impact, Ecology Action has remained a small
organization, believing that small is e3ective and human.
We consider ourselves to be a catalyst: Our function is to
empower people with the skills and knowledge
necessary to enable them to improve their lives and thus
transform the world into a garden of health and
abundance. The message is to live richly in a simple
manner—in a way we can all enjoy.
You can assist Ecology Action in this work by Ending
Eve friends and getting them involved in GROW
BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming and/or other
sustainable food-raising practices.^4 Together we can
make a signiEcant di3erence in the world, one small
area at a time. This is our opportunity. It is fun to be
part of the whole picture and part of the long-term
world environmental solution!
