The New Three R's

Restoring Earth

As more and more scientists have concluded, even if all of humanity adopted every single Bright Green sustainability initiative, it would be too little too late. No amount of reducing our carbon footprint, driving hybrid cars, riding bicycles, recycling, or eating organic food will be enough.

We are beyond the tipping point. This is the unspoken and devastating truth of the times in which we live. If we are to survive, our actions must become restorative—that is, we will need to not only do no harm, but undo the harm we’ve done on a massive and all-inclusive scale.

This is what we call “Restoring Earth” - and we do it so that future generations may at least have a fighting chance for survival.

Rewilding Humans

Rewilding is the process of finding our place in the web of life where our existence enhances rather than destroys the ecosystems in which we live. We know that this is possible because indigenous peoples achieved this for tens of thousands of years before the spread of civilization. The survival of future generations of humans and other species is dependent on humanity’s successful integration of this way of thinking and living.

It is our intention to bring about the re-wilding of the Fertile Ground Community and it is our hope that we will do this in concert with other human communities throughout the world.

Resisting Domination

Inherent in our intention to restore the earth and rewild humans, we are also creating a “Culture of Resistance” to undermine the dominant culture and its agents.

We encourage each person to find their own role in the resistance. The Fertile Ground Community actively supports the above-ground (legal) efforts of the resistance, and understands that others may find their roles necessitate becoming part of an underground resistance. For the safety and security of the community, one agreement that all Fertile Ground members must sign onto is that underground activities must occur without the participation, knowledge or support of any community members.
