ReThink Red Deer

ReThink Red Deer er dedikeret til at forbedre livskvaliteten på lang sigt i Red Deer og det omkringliggende område.

Vores filosofi er, at vi først og fremmest er borgere og derefter forbrugere; at vores verden er begrænset og lånt fra fremtidige generationer; at vi kan leve bæredygtigt og i harmoni med naturen; og at inspiration er en vedvarende ressource.

ReThink Red Deer coordinates its action around four key principles: 1) Smart Urban Planning 2) Protecting and Enhancing Natural Assets 3) Transportation Alternatives 4) Reinvigorating the Democratic Process

We believe in starting where we can – with our own lives, and our own community – Red Deer. Our organization assembles around the practices of a “for-benefit” organization; integrating social and environmental aims with business approaches. ReThink Red Deer is applying a social enterprise model, selling soil amending products (worm castings and rock dust) as well as microgreens and vegetables grown at our urban homestead and sold at local markets through “The Root Cellar: ecoStore & Apothecary“. We aim to couple environmental responsibility and community service while using our earned revenue for projects that responsibly inform citizens and contribute to the common good.
