GENERATION ECO SAPIENS

After the 2020 public health crisis turned our lives upside down, 2021 is still a year of adaptation for many of us. In this spirit of change, the QWRW suggests a new vision of Oneself and a new course of action. As tenants of this planet, we need to be more responsible and more aware of the impact our actions and behaviour have on the environment. We are part of the ecosystem, we have a duty to protect it. In 2021, make way for the “ECO SAPIENS.”

The definition of Eco sapiens we propose is that of an emerging new species that thinks and manages the ecosystem in a wise, smart, reasonable and moderate way. A future that favours ethical, eco-friendly, fair and sustainable products and practices and puts its knowledge and intelligence at the service of nature and the common good. This change in how we perceive our intrinsic nature and the role we have to play within the ecosystem should help us better define our actions and generate better lifestyle and consumption choices.

I think, therefore I reduce!
