Appropedia: Vision and mission

Our vision is that all of humanity is able to work together developing and realizing rich, sustainable lives. We build the infrastructure, and help make the connections and populate free content to effect that vision. We provide the living resource library of individuals and organizations working towards a sustainable, healthier future, so that efforts can be spent evolving instead of duplicating past efforts.

We briefly capture our vision and mission in this way:
Sharing knowledge to build rich, sustainable lives."
