We build accessible environmental opportunities for everyone
Our Mission
Eco.Logic inspires environmental action through art, connection, and education.
We believe that fostering connections with each other and the natural world is vital for creating a sustainable future. By integrating the transformative power of art, fostering meaningful connections, and providing education, we aim to make environmental action accessible and personal.
We believe that the climate crisis affects all of us, and we all have a role to play in addressing this global challenge. We know that finding one’s place in this enormous issue can be debilitating and overwhelming. This is why we center our programs around the pillars of education, community-building, and action while using intersectionality, creativity, and inclusivity to guide our work.
Our Values
Creativity
While graphs and statistics about temperature targets and particulate matter may speak to some people, we find that stories and artistic representations of the climate crisis can speak to more people. Art can educate, plant ideas, and inspire people. At Eco.Logic, we seek to get creative with our environmental education so that we can reach more hearts and minds. That’s why we produced a climate comedy play called “Love in the Time of Climate Change” that we later turned into a podcast. See more about our Arts and Activism programming here.
Intersectionality
At Eco.Logic, we strive to look at environmentalism through various lenses: gender, race, economic, etc. because we cannot separate environmental protection from people. In the U.S. the first Earth Day in 1970 signified the start of the modern environmental movement, which led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Clean Air and Water Acts. While these were great wins, the protections offered were not equally enforced and environmental hazards disproportionately affected and continue to affect low-income and communities of color. We see examples of that today in Flint, MI, Cancer Alley, and pipelines that run through and destroy sacred Indigenous lands.
Read founder Rozina Kanchwala’s Op-Ed, #BlackLivesMatter is Integral to Solving the Climate Crisis to learn why the environmental movement needs to be intersectional in order to succeed.
Inclusivity
People of color are the most impacted by environmental problems and the least represented in positions of power. We want to build an organization that centers voices from historically underrepresented communities (BIPOC, women, LGBTQ, etc.). We also want to make climate activism accessible. We recognize that not everyone works in the environmental movement and they don’t need to be perfect environmentalists to be a part of the movement. We want to lower the barrier of entry into environmentalism because we need everyone on board and there is plenty of room for everyone to join.
Community Building
Our Pillars
Education
Action
“It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated.
We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny.
Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
