Welcome
Greetings! Welcome to CRUSISIS: the CRUS-ade for the cr-ISIS of People, Planet and Community and your guide to sustainable living.
Have you ever thought to yourself?
- I aspire to be more “Green” at home, at work and with my children, if only I had more time to research how?
- I aspire to support my Local producers, if only I knew who they are and where to find them?
- I aspire to consume Fair Trade coffee and chocolate, if I knew where to find it each time I get the craving.
- I aspire to eat more Organic foods, if only I knew which ones truly are and where to get them?
- I aspire to take a more Natural approach to health and fitness, if only I knew more about how?
- I aspire to be more Community-minded and help those in need, if only I were inspired enough to take the time.
Our answer to this is CRUSISIS: an on-line guide and community resource to help everyday people live the way they’d aspire to live every day… for People, Planet and Community!
We want to remove the barriers that stand in your way and provide On-line and Real-time community resources, to help you live a more healthy, socially just, earth-friendly, locally sustaining lifestyle. We are calling you to action and want to empower you to take the next step.
Through our virtual community and local events, CRUSISIS proposes to incite change and create a paradigm shift in the way we do things everyday.
Have you ever thought to yourself I could do more, if only I had more time, knowledge or resources on how to get started? Do you want to be more “green” in your everyday decision-making and make choices that are also better for people and community? We want to help empower you to take the next step and remove the barriers that prevent you from living the way you aspire to live everyday.
It’s tempting to take the path of least resistance. After all, can a small change I make have much impact? Besides, isn’t making People-Planet-Community friendly choices cost prohibitive? Our perceptions, true or false, often guide our decision-making. But is it possible we just need to redefine our buying habits and retool our thinking about how we do things? This prompts some questions:
- What am I truly condoning regarding People’s welfare when I don’t buy products that are certified Fair Trade?
- What does Organically-produced really mean? How am I impacting my health or that of the People around me when I do or don’t choose them?
- What Green Lifestyle choices can I make?
- What other Planet-friendly things can I do in my day-to-day life? At home? At work? At play? For travel? Elsewhere?
- What more can I do regarding parenting decisions to ensure I am raising children and our future generation, to be giving, tolerant, green, global citizens? And am I leading properly by example?
- How can I be better informed about worthwhile events in my Community?
When we ask ourselves truthfully, we would like to do more. But we often lack time, energy, knowledge, inspiration or even inclination to figure out where to start. And we stall.
CRUSISIS proposes to change that. We want to remove the barriers that stand in your way and provide an on-line guide and real time community resources and events, to help you live a more healthy, socially just, earth-friendly, locally sustaining lifestyle.
We want to answer the questions above and delve in more deeply asking:
For the health of our People:
- What other products can I get that are Fair Trade?
- What are my natural healing options or ways to promote mental health?
- How can I enhance fitness, perhaps in a more natural setting?
For the health of our Planet:
- Which restaurants should I eat in that serve healthy, locally-grown or organically-produced products?
- How can I be more kind to Mother Earth regarding my buying choices?
- What about the bigger decisions like Transportation? Building? Energy choices?
- What “green” day-to-day products should I use for Personal hygiene? Grooming? Aesthetics? Household Cleaning? Groceries?
- What “green” suppliers or organizations can help me achieve these goals?
For the health of our Community:
- Which local stores should I support?
- What support can I provide my local and global communities in need?
- What initiative can I take to make a real difference in my community?
We are CRUSISIS a catalyst, a call to action. We are home-grown hope and a movement of positive change. We are CRUSISIS, the crusade for the crisis of People, Planet and Community.
