About Us
The SeaChar Mission:
The Seattle BioChar Working Group is a grass-roots, 501c3 nonprofit organization. SeaChar.Org’s global mission is to develop, promote and share positive tools for carbon negative living. Our biochar technology re-invents fire in order to create clean energy and build healthy soils.
A Statement of Our Values:
We will conduct our mission in such a way as:
To promote and
protect the diversity and equality of life.
To nurture and value
inter-connected living systems, by building community
around openly shared knowledge.
To re-establish balance,
through acts of reciprocity.
OUR VISION As citizens of a global community we feel a responsibility to help create the positive future we want to live in. Through biochar research, educational outreach and the development of technology, we will gain and share the tools to accomplish this.
