DescriptionWhen was the last time you came across an ecosystem that can provide you anything and everything that you need for sustainable living? Do you think just by changing from a petrol car to an electric car, or by shifting to an organic diet would be enough to alter the course of climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, some of which are beyond the planetary boundary now? And what about the present economic
system where infinite growth and consumption are envisaged in a finite planet? We know, there needs to be a paradigm shift if we have to avert the catastrophe of climate change, which according to the latest IPCC report we don’t have more than 12 years to do so.
So while innovating for Climate our proposition is to avert this all of us need to go towards a zero-impact living immediately. Here zero could be Zero carbon/ zero energy/ zero water/ zero waste etc. So from choice of building materials to food, clothing to mobility, and energy to circular economy, we must walk towards zero together, while acknowledging that in this Anthropocene we can’t really have a truly zero-footprint living but we can only go towards it. And the more we could add towards zero the better.
So, our innovation or “Add To Zero” is an online platform that attempts to bring together solution makers (organizations, experts, designers, entrepreneurs), with either a product, service or knowledge, that can take us towards Zero. As said before zero could be Zero-carbon/ energy/ water/ waste/ pesticide/ pollution etc. or simply towards a zero-impact life, on the planet we all share! In the knowledge section of AddToZero (AtZ), we share the stories and work of the solution makers; while enabling people to buy their products or solution through the product and services sections of AtZ. The aim is to provide an informed sustainable alternative for our website users, while at the same time helping solution makers to get more customers for their business while spreading the positive impact and taking us towards Zero!
