RMI

independent, entrepreneurial, nonprofit think-and-do tank™

We envisage a world thriving, verdant, and secure, for all, for ever. To that end, our mission is to drive the efficient and restorative use of resources. RMI's style is nonadversarial and transideological, emphasizing integrative design, advanced technologies, and mindful markets. We work extensively with the private sector, as well as with civil society and government, to create abundance by design and to apply the framework of Natural Capitalism.
