| Company
profile The idea for ROOTS took root in 2007
during an afternoon of traditional woodland management (coppicing)
in a historical nature reserve. Inspired by the historical, cultural and environmental
connections around us we realised the potential of these connections for further
reseach & consultancy. It
wasn't untill an urban garden renovation project in the heart of Amsterdam, providing
advice on biodiversity and surrounded by mengled roots and mounds of earth, that
we came up with the concept of our company. Our
goal is to offer an platform for other international
freelancers who share our philosophy, contributing to the world we live in by
doing what we do best. Our
mission: to facilitate environmental knowledge and sustainable practises through
advice, research & innovation and a constantly evolving network of experts.
If
facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions
and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must
grow. Rachel Carson, 1907-1964
.org
explained The use of .org means: - donating
10% of our income to Oxfam, WWF and the National Geographic Society - organisations
we think are trying to make a difference as well;
- adjusting
our fee, depending on our clients profile and the genuine
progress indicator of our clients nationality;
- investing
some of our financial assets through microlending website Kiva;
- compensating for
our carbon emissions whenever we travel;
- using
green energy for the electronic equipment we use;
- not
requiring an office building;
- wishing
we could do this for free, but... maybe someday.
