Our team first met as graduate students at the Global Institute for Sustainability at ASU. After struggling to reconcile the gap between the hard, evidence-based requirements for a sustainable future and impact-as-usual, we set out determined to build a better way. Since 2010 we have been dedicated to pioneering a new approach based on leveraging the insights of millions of individuals to identify and scale the most promising options.
