From taking to caretaking
Nature-driven
Let nature guide you! Nature shows us how life can be in balance. For billions of years it has worked as a strong and smart system in which everything is connected.
We have largely lost that connection. We take more from nature than we give back. This exhausts our living environment and puts our future under pressure. That is why Robin wants to contribute to the movement from taking to caretaking.
From surviving alone to living together as equals
Socially connected
In our society, people increasingly stand opposed to one another. There is more division. Less trust. Less room for difference.
And inequality is growing, for example between men and women and in the acceptance of minorities. Many people have to mostly fend for themselves.
We believe that real change only happens together. By seeing each other as equals, making room for difference and sharing responsibility, we build strong communities. The movement Robin believes in is from surviving alone to living together as equals.
From debt to a fair distribution of resources
Economically sound
Our economy now revolves mainly around growth, profit and debt. Money must constantly yield more money. This puts pressure on people, organisations and nature.
But economy actually means: managing the household well. It is about fairly distributing what there is and making sure everyone can participate. Debt is about money that does not yet exist and forces ever more growth. That is why Robin chooses to move from debt and profit as a goal towards a fair distribution of resources and an economy that supports people and nature.
This is how change happens
Change does not begin with rules or systems. Change begins with people. With how we look, choose and act in daily life.
I
Change starts with yourself. With the question: what do I find important and why? It's not about making perfect choices, but about being more conscious about what you do, buy and use.
Those who ask these questions see their surroundings differently — and nature too.
We
Nobody has to do it alone. When people seek each other out, collaboration arises. In neighbourhoods, organisations, chains and networks.
By working together and making agreements, it becomes easier to stick to different choices. This is how communities emerge where people help each other, share knowledge and take responsibility.
Planet
When we handle money, work and resources differently, it has an effect on the world around us.
Money is then not only used to make more money, but also to care for people, soil, water and landscape. We call that value creation: profit that goes beyond euros alone.
This is how I, we and planet connect. Personal choices lead to collaboration. Collaboration leads to change in how we treat our living environment. This is how change becomes practical, human and achievable — for everyone. This is Robin.
