Fundamentals: Earth

For each pillar we research at Sunpath, we lay out the goals that we seek to achieve through our work.

For the pillar of the Earth, it is to gain as much knowledge about its mechanics so that we can maximize the circularity of the economy. That is, to eliminate waste products like plastic, maximize the recycling of materials, and use land efficiently in order to house people and nature.

Deeper goals within this realm include to learn the nature of ecosystems so that we can better manage their health, understand how to live in harmony with the systems of life that created us and sustain us, and learn the practice of permaculture: a farming practice that combines the natural properties of plants in order to create mini-ecosystems for animals, food for people, and healthy soil free of pesticides.
