Live With Earth – Organization for Sustainable Development & Circular Economy
Live With Earth is a Portuguese non-profit association dedicated to sustainable development and circular economy. Since 2012, we develop transformative projects in permaculture, natural building, natural pigments, eco-communities and regenerative agroecology. Based at Eco Campus Torres Vedras, Portugal, we work with local communities, European organizations and young people worldwide to co-create solutions that regenerate ecosystems and promote human well-being. We develop scientific research in design to create sustainable solutions, including eco-product innovations, models, technologies, methods and new ways of thinking. Our vision is rooted in the Master's thesis "Sustainable Constructions: Eco-Village Community" by Vasques, R. (IADE, 2011). Our mission is based on four essential pillars: Water (Awareness), Earth (Empowerment), Fire (Convergence) and Air (Innovation).

This vulcanic mountain, where we are starting activity, is a very fertile land, full of minerals, and different types of soil, with different colours and properties. We are starting to research the types of clay, sand, stone and wood, to apply in natural building and arts

Our Mission
Live With Earth's approach integrates the fusion of four essential elements for sustainable transformation:
WATER
💧 represents awareness and the awakening to environmental urgency.
EARTH
🌏 symbolizes empowerment through education in permaculture (earth to plant), natural building (earth to build) and natural pigments (earth to color).
FIRE
🔥 manifests the convergence of people, knowledge and cultures in our projects and initiatives.
AIR
💨 embodies innovation through local solutions for global change, promoting circular economy and conscious action.
Let's co-create for Sustainable Development & Circular Economy?
We invite individuals, organizations and communities to collaborate with us in building a regenerative future. Whatever your vision or need, we are ready to transform ideas into sustainable action:
• A Permaculture project? Develop efficient, ecological, regenerative, and resilient systems and models.
• A Natural Building project? Build with earth, straw, stone, wood, cane, and other local sustainable materials.
• An Eco-Arts or Eco-Design project? Experiment with ecological solutions and materials for arts and design applications.
• A Workshop, Course, or Training? Hire our certified trainers or create a unique training program with us!
• A European Youth Project? We develop projects within the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programs, with national and international partnerships, under the European Green Deal.
• A Scientific Research project? Together we can develop transformative innovations for the world.
