Sustainability is Difference. It is what people somewhere do not have in common with people anywhere else...differences, peculiarities, and nuances not only individualise people but are the very things that make communication between remote lifestyles possible. The most important things in our lives are our tiny tiny differences and how we’ve come to express them. At the center of sustainability is a deeply sincere moment, there is a feeling that there is something in our lives that we want to keep...to sustain. If it were not kept a personal loss would be felt. Orkyds latch onto these tiny instances of difference and bloom from the way they have become a lifestyle on the surface of the Earth. Orkydacaeae’s practice-based policies translate the significance of local acts into a dialogue on where Sustainability exists.

Sample Question: do you interact with local ecology? If so, how?

Lifestyles mix with the Earth. They make the worlds people live within, on Earth, visible. The intimacy and intricacy of a way of life differs from locality to locality and it is within the subtle differences that moments of sustainability are to be found.

Orkyds express how different modes of existence are different expressions of what sustainability is. There is not One-sustainability, nor are there many; sustainability is different for each and every local-world on Earth. To ground this notion, Orkyds elaborate how specific acts within lifestyles relate locals to the world they find themselves to be surrounded by and embedded within. There are ecological, economic, and political components to every way of life but what is imperative to Orkydaceae is to clarify how the different ways people sustain themselves on Earth is sustainability-in-action.

A meet aligns local initiatives with the global effort to transition to Sustainability. The goal is to overcome the paralysis induced by Climate Change; to ditch the fatalistic feeling that making a positive change is impossible and any attempt to try is a hopeless endeavor.

Counteracting Climate Change is a daunting task. That being so, the first step is to slow down, contextualize, and bring one’s bearings into focus. During a Meet, Orkydaceae outlines the Sustainable Development Goals relevant to your initiative.

Let’s make what you’re doing locally make sense in the global-Sustainability movement.
