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).
