We aim to look at new ways to utilise and manage nature's bounty in order to bring the economy into ecology and promote a new way forward into a sustainable future.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Today's science and technology is still very primitive, when compared to the 'technology' employed by life forms we share this planet with.

The dynamics and engineering we are discovering in nature boggles the mind in its inventiveness, subtlety and effectiveness. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>In order to forge a way into the future, we at Gaian Life believe that we need to look to nature's systems and learn how to use this planets vast resources profitably rather than simply pillaging the land and destroying many of its untapped resources in the process.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Our slogan "Wisdom of the Ages, Knowledge for the Future" recognises the important role that historical cultures and indigenous people's have in providing methods of living sustainably on our planet. Gaian Life aims to support not only natural biodiversity but also global cultures in keeping with nature's ethos of stability through diversity.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Our cultural vision is based on the following statement:</B></div> <div> <I><B>"</B></I><I>In order for there to be a `rich' there must be a `poor. If I wish to help the poor I must acknowledge that I no longer wish to be rich in the material sense. I no longer wish to sit in the lap of luxury whilst all across the world countless millions work as unseen slaves in dire poverty on my behalf.</I><I><B>"</B></I></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 75 ><NOBR><div>  <iframe src="http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=gaianlife-21&o=2&p=8&l=as1&asins=0141025972&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>   <iframe src="http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=gaianlife-21&o=2&p=8&l=as1&asins=0192862189&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>   <iframe src="http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=gaianlife-21&o=2&p=8&l=as1&asins=1856752313&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>   <iframe src="http://rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk/e/cm?t=gaianlife-21&o=2&p=8&l=as1&asins=1890132896&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>  </div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="4" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="775" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#CCFFFF" BORDERCOLORDARK="#336600" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 59 WIDTH="759"><div>  <A NAME="cv"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#99CC66" FACE="Franklin Gothic Book" ><B>Gaian Life is founded and run by Dr.H.Marshall in order to utilise current scientific knowledge on environmental sustainability and also to encourage further environmental research and eco-friendly product development.</B></FONT></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="759"><div> <B>Dr. Helen L.
