Communicaton Transition Program
For over a century, some have warned that the way we live poses a serious threat to the survival of humanity. Yet, even now, many people are reluctant to take the necessary steps toward building a sustainable future. Many prefer to keep consuming and enjoying life without being disrupted by discussions about our responsibility toward nature and one another.
No matter the reasons for prioritizing consumption and self-interest over transitioning to a future-proof world, this must change soon. If not, the current generation risks being responsible for the greatest catastrophe modern humanity has ever faced.
This is not an easy message to share. It takes significant effort to figure out how to inform and engage everyone effectively. Moreover, we aim to give everyone the opportunity to contribute, in their own way, to the Integral Transition Program and to a more sustainable world.
Empowering Citizens
We aim to help citizens take responsibility for our shared future by providing independent information about the state of our natural, social, and economic ecosystems. Additionally, we share insights into the causes of damage and practical steps individuals can take toward a future-proof transition.
Many prefer to shift as much responsibility as possible to the government while paying minimal taxes, having a say only when it suits them, and prioritizing their personal concerns and enjoyment. However, it is neither feasible nor safe to offload all responsibility onto the government. This is not because governments are full of bad actors, but because a larger government apparatus becomes harder to manage and control. Aligning regulations with a sustainable society has grown increasingly complex.
Depolarization
We are actively exploring ways to reduce the distrust between citizens and the government. Even our foundation has struggled to remain calm amidst unrest and to engage in dialogue with those working hard during these challenging times to serve the country and its people.
That said, we must remain vigilant when fundamental rights are at risk, when poor legislation arises, when oversight is lacking, and when unelected officials hold too much power. While we believe in the good intentions of most people, we recognize the dangers posed by incompetence, lack of knowledge, excessive lobbying influence, ivory-tower culture, and inefficient work environments. These issues threaten the rule of law, and we will continue to discuss them with the government as long as necessary.
Our Vocabulary
We maintain an ongoing dialogue with companies, which often turns into a continuous workshop on communication. Through this, we have learned a great deal about greenwashing, inspiring us to create our own dictionary.
In our vocabulary, you won’t find buzzwords like sustainability, renewable energy, climate change, climate adaptation, or carbon offsetting. These terms often fail to lead to improved production processes, sustainable resource use, or the regeneration of our natural, social, and economic ecosystems. Instead, they are frequently used as marketing tools to meet growing consumer demand for environmental responsibility—yet, in many cases, they cause even more harm to our ecosystems.
For Everyone
The Communication Transition Program is aimed at a very broad audience: everyone. This is a challenging but necessary choice if we want to collectively create a future-proof world.
We also plan to develop merchandise that encourages people to look at issues from a different perspective. Additionally, we will produce informational materials to provide practical, everyday guidance.
The Integral Transition Program includes a project currently under development, which will remain a surprise for now.
Our ultimate goal is to collectively recognize the importance of a rapid transition toward a sustainable future for all life on this beautiful planet.
