Inspiring climate solutions for our incredible epoch.

About

The Holocene

Our home. The air we breathe.

The mountains we climb. The oceans we cross.

The holocene epoch is now: a period in the earth's history with the perfect conditions for life to proliferate.

While the growth in human civilization we've experienced over the last 11,000 years has led to incredible advances, it has also brought massive environmental destruction. 

If we want to continue to thrive on this planet,

we must create innovative solutions to restore balance.
