The Future We Want – Before, During and After Rio+20. Project organizers are working to create a Vision of a sustainable future, a multi-year initiative to fill the “vision vacuum” and to build a social contract between business, consumers, and governments. The Venue for Progress at Rio+20, June 20-22, 2012, will include an exhibition and forum for leadership, featuring real-world solutions, reflecting the wants and needs of everyday citizens around the world.

Currently at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, SPILL is a photography exhibition featuring Daniel Beltrá's stunning images of the 2010 Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Beltrá brings us up close and personal to the center of the Gulf Oil story and provides insight into the health of the world’s ocean. SPILL illustrates challenges faced by marine life as well as opportunities to heal and conserve our marine environment now and for generations to come.

Eco Amazons brings together the women leading the charge to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all life on earth. Through intimate interviews conducted by journalist Dorka Keehn and arresting images by award winning photographer Colin Finlay, Eco Amazons calls attention to this century’s critical environmental challenges by focusing on the remarkable women developing solutions and guiding us towards a sustainable future. Their efforts demonstrate how individual concern gives rise to passion, how passion leads to action, and how action effects meaningful change – efforts that can be emulated by each and every one of us.

People and the Planet tells the stories about the reemergence of connection, communication, and healing occurring between people, wild animals and the natural elements of the earth via a multi-faceted media program designed to reconnect and engage people with the natural world.

We are reclaiming our modern mythology that “people are bad for the planet” to “people and the planet are learning to thrive together" by examining the relationship between people and the natural world through the lens of health and healing. The series features stories from around the planet and introduces four alternative health practitioners in each of the sections: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Additional segments include people who are healing the planet, and people who are healing with animals. The final series will include 24 stories from around the planet.
