Declaration of Interdependence

Mission Critical – How we change from Self-Serving to Planet Serving admin@sea–agency.uk – Easter 2021

When I went to Shetland as a young 24 year old entrepreneur the first thing I did at the weekend was go to Noss to see one of Shetland’s most wondrous wildlife spectacles.

As I walked up that great hill I could smell the smell of fish and then as I topped the rise I heard a great cacophony of calls going “EEEEh, Ehh, EEEE!! Etc. and so this city of gannets seemed to be saying “EEEEEEh Manchester “ to me a common phrase from my home city. READ MORE ….

By signing this declaration, we endeavour to make it our life’s work to live in harmony with nature and to help restore the balance between mankind and the natural systems that all life relies upon.
