About Me

Check out my website!: http://www.newdream.org/

The Center for a New American Dream is dedicated to helping people and institutions live consciously, buy wisely, and make a difference in their communities. Our focus is on reducing and shifting consumption in the US to environmentally preferable & socially responsible products. We work with individuals, institutions, communities, and businesses to conserve natural resources, counter the commercialization of our culture, and change the way goods are produced and consumed.

But this isn't just about the environment--it's also about quality of life. Our culture of overwork and over consumption is wearing people down, as well as the environment. We need a shift for the happiness and well-being of all life involved.
