Evolving out of the Ethos Foundation’s Building Sustainable Small Business program during 2008-09, Ethos has designed an innovative business and enterprise workshop called “Smart Growth Business”.
Local Living Economy (LLE) is all about bringing economic power back into local regions, communities, businesses and households. It's about 'thinking local first' as LLE pioneer Michael Shuman says.
Building Sustainable Small Business is an initiative of the Ethos Foundation to promote and develop sustainability and a strong local living economy for small business and enterprise.
Since its establishment in 2005, the Ethos Foundation has integrated the creative arts within many of its sustainability activities, believing that the engagement between creativity and sustainability is fundamental to inclusive, intelligent and effective social transition.

Going Local - An Inter-Regional Relocalisation Convergence
This little column has been part of the Ethos Foundation’s eNews since it began in May 2006. And every single ‘note’ has been about the seasons and small delights of Binna Burra, the Foundation’s original homebase. In honour of the changes that are afoot within our organisation and the fantastic work of Ken McLeod in developing the coastal-based Climate Change Leaders Network, this Natures Note is written about the ocean and the beach. It’s late Easter Monday afternoon as I write and I’m sitting at Miami beach on the Gold Coast watching the swirling, treacherous, powerful Pacific. It’s been a holiday weekend with over 100 beach rescues across the Gold Coast – a compelling reminder of the power of the ocean. Here in Queensland we saw that power over Christmas 2007 when cyclones made our beaches utterly unsafe for locals and tourists alike. Then torrential rain swept soil and waste downstream from rural areas to create polluted brews across northern NSW beaches and no matter what the budgeted numbers of the tourism economy, our holiday season was literally washed away. I am completely bewitched by the ocean in any weather and these recent events have certainly reminded me of the power of our earth’s extraordinary cycles and interconnections.
