2008 Annual report Ecotrust’s mission is to inspire fresh thinking that creates economic opportunity, social equity and environmental well-being. These days, there seems to be only one question... How do we fix our economy? We ask a different question: Is this the opportunity to restore our economy based on new principles? 2008 Annual report Principles such as regionally based energy, food, banking and building, all for the benefit of nature, and community. 2008 Annual report We believe it’s possible for everyone, even in hard times. But it requires us to do three things… 2008 Annual report Innovate. Invest. Inspire. A Crisis, and an Opportunity

We founded Ecotrust nearly 20 years ago to help local communities achieve what author Jane Jacobs called a more “reliable prosperity.” To that end, we encouraged a new type of economic development that was more consistent with local culture and environmental restoration. We believed clues to success lay in ancient wisdom: the more diverse and l report a intimate the connections between nature, economic well-being and community, the more resilient all three might be.

We sought innovative ways to apply that wisdom, and then we invested. With ShoreBank, 2008 Annu we started a new type of bank that prioritized community-building and stewardship of the environment in its lending. We started a forest ecosystem investment fund. We helped schools find fresh local food for students, repatriated traditional land to First Nations, supported local fishermen with financing, and restored salmon runs. We found designers and contractors with integrity to do a green rebuild of an old warehouse. Slowly, we leveraged $60 million in grants into $300 million in new capital for families, businesses and the environment from Alaska to California.

Today, in the midst of a storm, we are testing our own persistence and resilience. Ecotrust’s 2008 growth was modest, a rate consistent with the biological growth of our native forests, but perhaps it shows resilience at a time when the S&P 500 lost more than a third of its value. Maybe it’s because we believe in investing in things we all need, more than what we want. We are investing in storing carbon in our forests, not releasing it. We are investing in local food production, not transporting food halfway around the world. We are investing in a healthy and creative place to work, and in our outstanding management team and staff.

Local, living economies: Not everyone will embrace the model, but we know it’s profitable, better for the earth and better for local communities everywhere.

Cecil Paul, a Haisla First Nation elder with whom we worked to protect the 800,000-acre Kitlope River watershed in British Columbia, once said that we are all building a magic canoe — a metaphor for a growing global village. Thank you for traveling with us.
