The ultimate goal of Refresh is to help the world rid itself of toxicity of all kinds whether it be chemical, biological or psychological so that the world can make a Fresh Start. What if we could clean up our oceans thereby allowing ocean life to flourish providing healthy, abundant, affordable and sustainable seafood for all? What if we could have clean air, clean water and clean soil; allowing health to flourish, reducing the need for expensive and predatory medical solutions? And what if we could give everyone a fresh start by sharing resources and teaching each other how to excel and succeed so that we could all be healthy, confident and competent members of a worldwide team where everyone is included and valued no matter what it is they have to offer?
The more those around us thrive, the more we thrive because thriving isn’t only a personal experience but it’s the feeling we have when we’re in a thriving environment. I may have a lot of money but if I don’t have quality goods and services to spend it on what’s the point? Quality goods and services from from other people who are thriving too. There isn’t just one way to thrive. Not everyone thrives on being seen as the best and at the top of their profession. Some people thrive in support roles that tend not to pay as much as leadership roles. But those support roles are crucial to the functioning of a community, of a society. So why are people in support roles paid so much less?
Is there a way we can re-evaluate and reinterpret the concept of what’s valuable? Is money valuable or is it just a symbol of value? How can we protect what’s valuable and create a regenerative economy that allows everyone access to healthy food and good quality goods and services. Is there a way for everyone to have a decent life? Possibly not but how close can we get to that reality? how would we get there?
