Projects

The Incubator division of New Leaf focuses on creating experiences in which sustainability knowledge can be strategically applied in the real world. There are three styles of immersive application opportunities: Plan It, Do It, and Live It projects.

Plan It

These projects focus on developing comprehensive strategic sustainability action plans for everything from businesses to municipalities to organizations. Allies work alongside partner groups to co-create customized plans to meet their direct operational and organizational needs. A trained consultant in the TNS framework works alongside teams to coach them in their approach.

Do It

This level allows individuals to physically apply their learning on projects such as installing solar panels or planting an organic garden. ‘Do It’ projects take the strategic planning and turns it into reality. We work both locally and internationally and rely heavily on our extensive partner network to place allies in the appropriate locations that match their skills.

Live It

This last type of project finds ways to directly apply sustainability to our own lives. Talking about sustainability and helping others achieve sustainable goals is only half the picture –  the other half involves each of us looking at our lifestyles and asking the tough, yet surprisingly fruitful, questions that sustainability demands.
