Center for A New American Dream
Mission:
The traditional American dream of opportunity, progress and freedom speaks to the hearts of most people. Yet the prevailing "more is better" definition of the dream has many hidden costs. Skyrocketing consumption in northern industrial countries is causing extraordinary damage to the natural world and contributing to a colossal gap between rich and poor. Our system of ever-expanding production and consumption is rapidly depleting the planet?s natural resources, degrading its renewable support systems of water, soil, and air, and producing more waste than the Earth and its atmosphere can absorb. Recognizing a critical need to protect the environment, promote social justice, and improve quality of life for all of the world's citizens, the Center for a New American Dream works with individuals, institutions, communities and businesses to conserve natural resources, counter the commercialization of our culture and promote positive changes in the way goods are produced and consumed.More resources and information about the Center for a New American Dream is available on our website at www.newdream.org.
