Applying entertainment commercial models to monetise and scale environmental and social impact
ABOUT US: Statement of Purpose
The urgency of the climate crisis has not been recognised by most of the general public, and when it is recognised, people don’t know what they can do. We need to harness mass action to solve this crisis but the public either lack knowledge or feel powerless.
This is the fault of all of us in the environmental community. We use jargon, talking about ‘biodiversity’ or ‘Net Zero” instead of ‘plants and animals’. We strive for purity rather than pragmatism, we are elitist and exclusionary.
This has to change. We have to stop talking to ourselves. We have to work with others. We need to allow shades of green, and most importantly we need to engage with everyone.
Therefore, we propose to make Water and the Environment part of mainstream pop culture. Using the long-established commercial models from the sports and entertainment industries.
We aim to develop environmental content with high production values across a range of media channels and also package and promote academic and environmental expert speakers for corporate functions, festivals and existing sports, music and arts events.
We aim. to commoditise environmental messaging into saleable products and projects, which can be distributed via mass media channels to a global audience. This will raise awareness and generate revenue for environmental bodies, academia and growth-stage start-ups with proven impact solutions.
We invite you to join us!
