Explore: an endowment fund to encourage positive initiatives for mankind and the planet

“I’ve been sailing around the globe for nearly thirty years, and if ocean racing has revealed to me the beauties of nature and the ocean, it has also shown me its fragilities. A changing climate, the scarcity of resources, pollution of all kinds… Our planet is going badly while our activities and the development of our society are directly linked to issues of preservation of our environment. All of this puts into perspective the role that each of us has to play, individually and collectively, to take action.
Explore was created seven years ago to focus on those who “don’t think alike”, who have a vision, a passionate desire to move the lines, and who demonstrate this by proof. Explore is a landmark of “doers” and not “sayers”. By practicing open-source and dissemination to the greatest number, they are part of the perspective and the search for intelligent and virtuous collaboration between humans. A simple thing that we tend to forget, which is an integral part of the ecosystem’s balance and the nature to which we belong.
Seen through the classic prism, the cleaver falls easily. Not profitable. No business model. Sympathetic utopia… maybe… or maybe not. For how can we explain that the Explore hive is overflowing with more and more energies, with people who are either highly qualified or not at all, and who come from various backgrounds? These people share the same simple observation: there are more and more of us on a planet with dwindling resources. One problem, but thousands of possible solutions. Local and shared, duplicable, improved by collective intelligence, and taking everyone onto account. Changing our outlook leads us to modify our actions, from the most trivial to the most significant. New explorers help to open our eyes to new possibilities. They show us that there are other ways. Then let’s follow them.»
