The Greenheart Movement
The Greenheart Movement was formed to engage the Guyanese public in envisioning, creating, and advocating for more sustainable development and alternatives to extractive industries. Our aim is to engage and empower individuals, illuminate linkages and solutions, and foster healthy communities. GHM's approach is one of knowledge sharing, critical discussion, and co-creation.
We Believe
In the interconnectedness of all beings
Humans are a part OF nature, not apart FROM nature
The right to existence is for all living things, not only humans
Not all development is good development
Humans should live in a way that leaves a habitable planet for future generations AND other living things
Overconsumption and extractive capitalism are destructive to planet Earth and her inhabitants
If each person does their part, collectively, we can make a difference
Individual responsibility alone, is not enough; goverments and coporations must also be held accountable
‘Development’ should increase wellness, not just bank accounts
There are enough resources for everyone if no one takes more than their fair share
The natural environment is to be nurtured and protected
Ecological, physical, and psychological health andwellness are all possible
