operating a resale shop & promoting green economics education
Every year, the government allots billions of dollars in the annual budget for environmental agencies and projects. While it is great to think that the country’s leaders are taking steps to help solve various ecological problems, there are still government-funded industries that are harmful to human health and our shared ecosystem on this amazing planet, our home! Native Americans called this "living lightly on the earth" so that there will still be a healthy natural world for many generations into the future!
At Big Medicine, NFP in Chicago, IL, we aim to address this issue. Our organization is dedicated to operating a resale shop and educating the general public, including students of all levels, about green economics.
Embarking on Our Journey
What led us to our purpose were simple phrases: “cut off the disease at its source,” “connect the whole equation,” and “think ecologically.” We are excited at the possibility of restructuring the government funding that subsidizes decaying and harmful industries through dramatic tax cuts or fund reallocation to life-and earth-affirming ventures.
What We Do
Established in 2004, our organization serves our charitable purpose by running a resale shop and advancing education for anyone who wants to understand green economics, we are available to speak to anyone, but esp students of any age. We explain the concepts through one-on-one daily chats, talking to classrooms or larger gatherings, and /or any other social gatherings that you would like to invite us to come speak to your group!
