OUR LIVING PLANET, OUR ONLY SOURCE OF LIFE IS DYING FAST —IT'S UP  US TO SAVE HER AND OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURES

While OHIAS has many beliefs, a few drive our mission and work, they include: respect first and foremost for all life and planet, true value accounting for natures resources , and honest work oneself and community.

RESPECT ­— Our world lacks a common respect for our living and  finite planet. This is demonstrated by people, communities and nations when finite life-sustaining capacity of our planet is compromised for short term interests and benefits.  This lack of common respect for our planet is so out of step with our natural world it bends minds and thinking so much it causes many to act out irresponsibly.

COMMUNITY —  Our Communities are the foundation stones and life blood of just and sustainable planet. To right the wrongs of past and present we need to make our communities more central to our lives and as sustainable as humanly possible.

WORK is essential for well being and is as important as wholesome food, rest, and relaxation. No one should be denied the opportunity to perform wholesome community work. Work is good for what ails us today (people and community).  Wholesome community work has been too long under appreciated and valued.

There is more than enough work to do in our communities and finite world if we all learned to live and work more naturally and responsibly (sustainably) like nature requires.

SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION, REUSE  and RECYCLING are central to our healthy, sustainability and future. Our finite natural world is dependent upon sustainable consumption and  REUSE and recycling to maintain its very delicate cycle of life.
