The Small Earth Nepal (SEN) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) established in March 2001 to promote sustainable lifestyles and to reduce the global footprint of Nepal.<\/p>\n

SEN\u2019s core mission is to focus on conservation activities, such as campaigning against the over exploitation of earth\u2019s limited resources and in engaging the public through programs that teach individuals of all ages and background on how to minimize their impacts on those natural resources. Such activities are intended to motivate individuals and organizations, academic institutes, private business and government agencies to pursue sustainable development and system-resilient choices in their day to day workings. SEN is committed to achieve a balance in human-environment interactions through original researches that enhance the knowledge framework that provides the reference to both policy and advocacy process and through diffused activities that affect changes in the everyday lives of individuals regardless of background.<\/p>\n

SEN mission is to direct its activities towards:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Promoting sustainable lifestyles
\n\u2022 Encouraging climate resilient livelihoods
\n\u2022 Supporting capacity building
\n\u2022 Motivating individuals to make more earth-friendly choices<\/p>\n

SEN deploys a multi-dimensional and comprehensive approach in its advocacy not only in developing far-reaching programs in Nepal but also collaborating with organizations and researchers from around the region and across the world to fulfil its vision of sustainable human-environment interactions.
\nAt present, SEN\u2019s programs are divided into four general categories: research, publication, capacity building and awareness.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s work towards sustainable lifestyles to make our daily routine a more healthy living and more environmental friendly\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are to live sustainably, we must ensure that we use the essential products and processes of nature no more quickly than they can be renewed, and that we discharge wastes no more quickly than they can be absorbed\u201d \u2013 Wackernagel & Rees 1996.<\/p>\n
