Gaian
Steward of the Earth
Gaians view the Earth as a single living organism where people, plants, and animals are connected in one web of life. They reject hierarchies, choosing collaboration and reciprocity with nature instead.
Composting, reusing, regenerating … sustainability underpins their every action. Gaians are at the forefront of creating thriving spaces like urban farms and green commons where all can flourish together.
