About

Welcome to Green Future Solutions, we are a Singapore-based business that promotes environmental awareness and action for a green future, through our network of green websites, events, presentations, publications and consultancy.

We believe that a green future is not a dream but a responsibility to nature and our children.

Our future is not merely something that happens to us but something that we participate in creating. If we do this consciously, we can create a world that works. – The Cultural Creatives

Our Vision

A green future that is Bright, Enough, Local, Simple, Social and Whole. We don’t know exactly what a green future will look like but we think it will involve these 6 characteristics:

1. BRIGHT

A green future is bright as we use our innovative ideas and tools to solve the world’s problems. It’s about possibilities and not limitations.

With climate change hard upon us, a new green movement is taking shape, one that embraces environmentalism’s concerns but rejects its worn-out answers. Technology can be a font of endlessly creative solutions. Business can be a vehicle for change. Prosperity can help us build the kind of world we want. Scientific exploration, innovative design, and cultural evolution are the most powerful tools we have. Entrepreneurial zeal and market forces, guided by sustainable policies, can propel the world into a bright green future. – Alex Steffen

2. ENOUGH

A green future is enough as we buy and use only what we need. It’s not about sacrifice but about focusing more on meaning (relationship, health and happiness) and less on means (money and stuff).

What we can do individually is define what “enough” means for us and then live it. That doesn’t mean living in deprivation or unplugging everything and returning to a previous century. It means: unplugging the nattering sales pitches that tell us we are inadequate unless we buy certain products; achieving security and sufficiency but stopping short of waste and clutter; discovering what life can be about, when it isn’t about having more stuff; choosing real satisfaction instead of the empty satisfaction of mindless acquisition. – Donella Meadows

3. LOCAL

A green future is local as we grow our own food, generate our own energy, and use local resources. Think cooperation, community and self-sufficiency.

… we need to move beyond “growth” as the paramount economic ideal and pursue prosperity in a more local direction, with cities, suburbs, and regions producing more of their own food, generating more of their own energy, and even creating more of their own culture and entertainment. – Deep Economy

4. SIMPLE

A green future is simple as we design and do things in an easy to understand and practical way without unnecessary and irrelevant steps. It’s about focusing on the core.

MUJI is not a brand whose value rests in the frills and “extras” it adds to its products. MUJI is simplicity – but a simplicity achieved through a complexity of thought and design. MUJI’s streamlining is the result of the careful elimination and subtraction of gratuitous features and design unrelated to function. – MUJI

5. SOCIAL

A green future is social as we listen, share, network and collaborate with different people and organisations for win-win solutions.

Social Citizens are energetic and passionate about social causes; brimming with new approaches and ideas for problem-solving; disposed toward sharing the responsibilities and rewards of affecting change in the world; and equipped with the digital tools and people power to make it happen. – Social Citizens

6. WHOLE

A green future is whole as we understand the interconnectedness of problems and seek holistic solutions. It’s about looking at the forest and not just the trees.

As you think about a system, spend part of your time from a vantage point that lets you see the whole system, not just the problem that may have drawn you to focus on the system to begin with. And realize, that, especially in the short term, changes for the good of the whole may sometimes seem to be counter to the interests of a part of the system. It helps to remember that the parts of a system cannot survive without the whole. – Donella Meadows
